A tea filter is a type of filter placed above or in a cup of tea to catch tea leaves.
When tea is brewed in the traditional way in a teapot, tea leaves are not contained in tea bags; on the contrary, they are free hanging in water. Because the leaves are not consumed with tea, it is usually filtered with a tea strainer. The filter usually enters the top of the cup to capture the leaves as the tea is poured.
Despite the fact that the use of tea filters has declined in the 20th century with the mass production of tea bags, it is still preferred among lovers, who claim that keeping the leaves packed in a bag, rather than freely circulating, inhibits diffusion. Many claim that lower ingredients, dust-quality teas, are often used in tea bags.
Tea filters are usually either sterling silver, stainless steel, or china. The filter often comes in a set, with the strainer itself and a small plate for it to rest between the cups. The tea strain itself is often transformed into an artistic masterpiece of silver and gold crafts, as well as finer rare fine porcelain specimens.
Brewing bins (or basket baskets ) resemble tea strainers, but are more often placed on a teapot to keep the tea leaves contained during brewing. There is no definitive boundary between the brewing basket and the tea strainer, and the same tool may be used for both purposes.
