Long-Handle Tea Ball

Great for loose leaf tea. Great quality and doesn’t have the taste of your tea

I’ve been using the Numola Long Handle Tea Ball set (2 pieces) for a few weeks now and I’m enjoying the ease and convenience it brings to my tea time. These stainless steel infusers are pretty easy to use, by pushing the top to open, filling them with your favorite loose tea leaves, floral leaves, or anything you’d like to infuse, finally place it in your mug and pour hot water over it. Done! The spring inside makes opening/ closing ighly convenient. Tbh I was initially worried about it getting rustysoon but even after multiple dishwasher cycles they’ve held up beautifully. Comes out shiny as new every time! The only issue is cleaning out the used tea, it can settle at the bottom if u don't immediately clean it. There’s a brush included to achieve that but you need to keep the top pressed with one hand to keep it open while cleaning with the other which can be a bit awkward. Nonetheless, I’m pleased with the overall steel quality, functionality and ease of this product!

I purchased a few other styles for loose leaf tea. These are more difficult to load and clean but seep tea very well. I will be trying on coffee to see how that works. Size is perfect but can’t fill entirely. Seals well though and gave great seep for a good flavored cup of tea. Good mesh size for loose leaf tea but gay- difficult to fill and wash. I think I will use them for camping for coffee

These infusers work great for making herbal (white horehound) tea. Saves the trouble of straining the finished tea.

These tea balls are a nice idea but hard to use. Clumsy to fill, don't close very tightly so there are "floaties" in my tea, and they are fussy to clean. They are attractive but not practical for me.

I bought it 2 months ago approximately, and it's already broken. Functional till it breaks. *Edit* Costumer service reached out offering a solution and replacing the broken item. New item working perfectly 👌 Great deal!

I’ve only had this for a day, but it is going to be my new go-to for making loose leaf tea. Here’s what it does well: 1) the seal is tight. When it’s closed, it’s closed. There’s no gap between the two halves and therefore no leakage or spillage of tea leaves into your drink. My other tea ball that opens sideways when you grip it, has a closing force not as strong and tea leaves fall into the water. Not with this one. 2) The holes are very small. You only get the smallest of particles, or tea dust, in your brew which is negligible. Here’s what’s a little awkward: filling it with tea. Since the halves of the ball separate on the top and bottom, it’s a little tricky to fill with loose leaf tea. You could stick it into your container and press and release to scoop, but I think you’d end up with leaves stuck between the two halves. For now, I just carefully pour into the bottom half. This also makes cleaning a little difficult. Regardless, this is a great tool for steeping tea. It’s easy and there’s no leaking of tea leaves.

Quality: 1/5 I was really excited to try this tea steamer, but unfortunately, it didn't meet expectations. The material feels flimsy, and the overall build quality is disappointing. After just a few uses, I noticed parts of it started to lose their shape and functionality, making it difficult to use. The handle feels weak, and the steamer doesn’t stay securely attached to the teapot as it should. Design: 1/5 The design is quite awkward, and it doesn’t seem well thought out. The spout tends to dribble, which makes pouring the tea a bit messy. The steamer mesh itself doesn’t seem to allow water to flow through evenly, which leads to unevenly brewed tea. It’s also a bit harder to clean than expected, with tea leaves often getting stuck in the mesh. Functionality: 1/5 The primary function of a tea steamer is to help brew loose leaf tea easily, but this one doesn’t do that at all. It tends to either under-steam or over-steam the tea, leaving the flavor off. The steamer mesh clogs easily, which only adds to the frustration. It’s supposed to be a simple process, but using this has made tea time more of a hassle than a relaxing experience. Value for Money: 1/5 Considering the issues with the quality and functionality, this tea steamer isn’t worth the price. It performs poorly, and I feel like I wasted my money. There are much better options out there that are more durable and effective for the same or even lower price. Overall: 1/5 This tea steamer missed the mark completely. From its flimsy construction to its poor performance, it just doesn't do what it's supposed to do. I would not recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy a nice, hassle-free cup of tea. Save your money and look for a better alternative

Good for all kinds of loose tea but not as easy to empty after use

These work well, even for finer teas! I've been using them for months now, and they still hold tension and stay closed while steeping. The best I've found so far for loose tea.

98% perfect. Exactly what it should be. It says a long handle but I expected it to be about two inches longer

This is more for a pot of tea than a cup, way too big for cups of tea. Good quality.

Looks good but find it hard to fill and clean up. Loose tea still seems to escape.
