This is a straightforward loose-leaf tea strainer from Olympia, constructed in stainless steel with a fine mesh basket and a chain and hook for resting securely across a cup or teapot. It is designed for front-of-house tea service where loose-leaf teas are offered alongside a standard hot drinks menu.

In a busy café or restaurant setting, the mesh allows adequate infusion while catching leaf debris cleanly, delivering a consistent cup without residue. The stainless steel construction holds up well to repeated daily use, hot water, and regular washing without corroding or distorting over time.

  • Fine mesh catches tea leaves cleanly during pouring
  • Chain and hook keep the strainer positioned securely over a cup or pot
  • Stainless steel resists corrosion and discolouration with regular use
  • Lightweight and easy to handle during busy service periods
  • Straightforward to rinse clean between uses

This is a small, simple piece of tableware and does not require any installation. It is best suited to operations that serve loose-leaf tea as part of their drinks offering — independent cafés, hotel breakfast service, or table-service restaurants. For operations serving very high volumes of loose-leaf tea, it is worth considering whether a larger-diameter strainer or a dedicated teapot infuser basket would better suit the workflow.

If you are building out a loose-leaf tea service and want to make sure you have the right accessories alongside it, the team is happy to help you think it through.

Frequently asked questions

Is this strainer suitable for use with a teapot as well as a cup?

Yes — the chain and hook design allows it to sit across the rim of both a standard teacup and a small teapot. For larger teapots with wider openings, it is worth checking the 50mm diameter is sufficient to bridge the rim securely before ordering.

How should this strainer be cleaned in a commercial environment?

It can be rinsed under hot running water between uses and is suitable for regular hand washing. The stainless steel construction handles daily cleaning well, though fine mesh can trap small leaf particles, so a brief soak or a soft brush helps keep it clear during busy service periods.

Is this the right choice for a high-volume loose-leaf tea service?

For low-to-mid-volume service — a café or restaurant offering a few loose-leaf varieties — this strainer is a practical and reliable option. If you are running a high-turnover tea service or a dedicated loose-leaf menu with frequent orders, a larger strainer or integrated infuser setup may suit your workflow better.
