Product Description
Amazon.ca Product Description
Say goodbye to tea bags and enjoy your perfect cup of tea in style with the stainless steel YOYO tea strainer. Freely swirling tea leaves will release their full potential, like in a Bodum tea pot but on a smaller scale. With a length of 11.7 cm (4.6 inch), it fits into all Bodum mugs. The lid is dual purpose. If put upside-down onto the strainer it keeps the water warm while the tea is brewing, if flipped after the brewing it can be used as a saucer for the tea infuser. The hole on top of the tea infuser allows for easy storage by just hanging it up. All parts are dishwasher safe.

Better Than Most,
By
This review is from: Bodum New YoYo Stainless Steel Tea Infuser with Lid (Kitchen)
It's not so much that the Bodum YoYo Tea Infuser is special, it's more that its competition is pretty terrible. Most tea infusers fall into one of two categories:1. Very Small: Tea balls and the like, including the hinged ones, can hold very little tea and don't give much room for the tea to expand, as good tea is wont to do. 2. Few Holes: Lots of tea infusers have a very small number of holes, which seems to reduce the amount of flow between the water in the pot and the water in the infuser. This tends to dilute the flavor of the tea somewhat. Many tea infusers are also very specialized -- they fit a particular pot or cup and don't work well in other situations. The YoYo doesn't have those problems. It's large, spacious, fits most pots and cups, comes with a little bowl that you can put it in afterwards and with which you can cover the infuser while it's steeping. The sides are heavily perforated that lets water move freely. There's lots of room for tea to expand. It looks good sitting on a shelf or a countertop. My only real complaint is that the holes in the infuser seem to catch tea leaves easily, which means it's difficult to get perfectly clean. The holes are also large enough that if you're steeping something very very fine, like Rooibos often is, you'll let some of it escape into the pot. These are pretty minor complaints, and I'm happy to live with them.

A better cup of tea,

This review is from: Bodum New YoYo Stainless Steel Tea Infuser with Lid (Kitchen)
I'm very satisfied with this tea strainer. Like other reviewers, I appreciate the roominess and the fact that it fits in virtually any mug. I don't have a teapot but if I did I bet it would fit in there too.I have tried many types of tea with this strainer. Some of the very fine-cut teas do leave a tiny bit of residue in the cup, but this doesn't bother me at all. The holes really are quite small, so I find that only the powdery-fine bits filter through them. I would have given this 5 stars if the drainage from the bottom of the infuser were better. You can see in the photo that the bottom is more solid steel. There are a few tiny holes in it, but not enough. This means a fair bit of water is left in there, mixed with the tea leaves, so it takes longer for the tea to dry out. I find the infuser easiest to clean when the leaves are completely dry. This is a very minor complaint.

best for whole leaf teas,
By Daniel Juliano - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bodum New YoYo Stainless Steel Tea Infuser with Lid (Kitchen)
I wanted an infuser that would allow me to make a single mug of loose leaf tea at home. This item pretty much works as expected. But the holes in the side of the infuser are rather large--about 1mm. For whole leaf loose teas, that is not a problem. But for many other teas, it allows quite a bit of tea through.For example, when I make sencha or bancha green tea, I end up with a lot of sediment at the bottom of my mug. Also, rooibos tea is small enough to slip through the holes. And a few of the rooibos tea particles will actually get stuck in the holes, which becomes a slight hassle when cleaning the unit. I use this unit at home but at work I have a different tea maker which works better. It has a finer mesh screen so very little tea gets through. On Amazon, it is ASIN # B0000VLMQK, but is not currently available. However, the same item can be found at Teavana as "2 cup perfect teamaker" or at Adagio Teas as "ingenuiTEA", and sells for less than $20. 25 of 25 people found the following review helpful

This review is from: Bodum New YoYo Stainless Steel Tea Infuser with Lid (Kitchen)
I've discovered if I wet the infuser just before adding the tea the smaller particles expand and less tea "dust" falls through. This infuser is easy to clean and has a nice appearance. It can be used in either a single cup or in any teapot (of course you need to adjust the quantity of tea leaves).

Flawless "tea-steeping" device. Probability of unplanned release of leaves into liquid medium during normal steeping processes is approximately zero, in contrast to failure-prone clasp of device "tea ball." High reliability values are obtained through the omission of moving parts and fabrication from corrosion-resistant metal, therefore it is probable that optimal item operation will persist beyond the cessation of original purchaser's biological functions. Omitting aesthetic considerations, the device possesses obvious heirloom suitability.
