Product Overview
Red jasper gives this tea strainer its deep brick-red stone, an opaque quartz used in ornament and carving since ancient times. The stainless steel basket holds loose leaf tea over a cup or pot, then lifts away. Each stone is raw and natural, so the depth of red and any darker veining differ across every strainer.
