KOGU Travel Mug Tea Strainer
A small tool for a very specific problem: most tea strainers are too wide for a travel mug or bottle. KOGU solves that with a long, narrow stainless-steel basket designed for openings from 4.5 cm inner diameter.
Drop the strainer into the vessel, brew directly inside it, then lift the leaves out when the tea reaches the strength you want. There is no need to carry a separate teapot.
Why it makes sense for travel
- Narrow profile: designed for travel mugs and bottles.
- Deep basket: 6.3 cm internal depth.
- Only 20 g: very little extra hardware to carry.
- Dishwasher safe: 18-8 stainless steel.

Let customers speak for us
Beautiful pouch. Thoroughly recommend.
Excellent cuticle nippers. Great quality.
Really high quality nail nipper. Highly recommended! Nicely packaged and tremendously fast delivery -- it only took two days.
Wonderful product: good design, a pleasure to touch and to use, with flawless results. Thank you, Suwada!
Incredible product and craftsmanship. The clippers along with the case have a high quality feel and your nails feel smooth after each cut
As someone who has finally quit to bite and eat my nails, and who also happens to have OCD, this object is a part of the nest purchases I have made.
Perfect instrument worth every penny.
Beautiful teapot from Kogu. I saw this one while I was in Japan and fell in love with the design. The material is beautiful and the size is perfect. Also the packaging was lovely and shipping was very fast.
To be honest, I bought the case solely because it protects the nippers and fits them perfectly; I didn't bother looking for a different $5 option that would offer the same fit. Unlike the nippers—which are simply flawless—the case is vastly overpriced; the cost of three cases equals the price of one pair of nippers. Yet, the nippers represent sheer perfection and embody a huge amount of time and effort, whereas the case is just a piece of leather stitched together.
