KOGU Fine-Mesh Tea Dripper
A very direct way to brew: place the dripper over a cup, brew in the stainless-steel mesh chamber, and let the liquor pass through below. There is no separate teapot to pour from and no loose handheld strainer to catch leaves afterwards.
The fine mesh is designed to reduce the amount of small leaf material passing into the cup. The fine mesh is a good choice if you prefer fewer small leaf pieces in your cup.
Why choose it?
- Drip-through format: brews directly over the drinking vessel.
- Fine stainless mesh: designed to retain smaller leaf fragments.
- Compact footprint: 90 g and easy to store.
- Dishwasher safe: useful for a tool whose mesh needs regular rinsing.
