Full Description – Tea Tongs

Introduction

Are you a true tea lover who prefers loose leaf tea over pre-packaged tea bags? Then a good tea tong is an essential addition to your tea collection. The tea tong – available in three sizes (45 mm, 50 mm, and 65 mm) – is a simple yet indispensable accessory for anyone who enjoys a fresh cup of tea every day. With its classic shape and practical ease of use, this tea tong ensures your favorite loose tea is brewed to perfection. No more tea leaves in your cup, just pure flavor – exactly the way it should be.

What makes this tea tong so convenient? Simply fill it with your favorite tea blend, squeeze it shut, steep it in hot water, and enjoy a clear and flavorful cup of tea. No fuss with tea filters or soggy loose leaves in your sink. It’s reusable, durable, and dishwasher safe. Whether you're drinking a classic Earl Grey or a floral herbal blend, this tea tong is your reliable partner for every tea moment.

The three available sizes allow you to use just the right amount of tea, depending on your cup or mug. The smaller size (45 mm) is ideal for a single cup, while the larger versions (50 mm and 65 mm) are perfect for larger mugs or small teapots.

A tea tong is more than just a handy tool – it’s a must-have for any mindful tea drinker. Want to brew your tea the proper way, preserving all its flavors and aromas? Then this classic tea tong is exactly what you’re looking for.

How Does the Tea Tong Work?

The operation of the tea tong is simple yet effective. You open the tong by gently pressing the handle, fill one half with loose tea, close it again, and place it into your cup of hot water. The small holes in the metal ball allow the water to circulate freely while keeping the tea leaves neatly contained. This results in a clear, flavorful infusion without having to strain or fish out leaves from your cup.

The fine perforations are just the right size to let the flavors and aromas infuse perfectly, yet small enough to hold even fine rooibos or green tea leaves. This makes the tea tong suitable for almost any type of tea – from black teas to delicate white teas and fragrant herbal blends.

Thanks to its stainless steel design, the tong is durable and flavor-neutral. That means: no unwanted tastes, no discoloration, and years of enjoyable use. It's also easy to clean – just rinse it off or pop it in the dishwasher, and it's ready for your next cup.

Which Size Tea Tong Should You Choose?

The tea tong is available in three sizes: 45 mm, 50 mm, and 65 mm. The best size for you depends on the size of your cup or mug and how much tea you want to brew at once.

  • 45 mm: Ideal for a standard teacup. This size is compact, easy to use, and perfect for lighter infusions or teas that don’t need much space to unfurl.
  • 50 mm: A great middle ground. Perfect for tea lovers who use slightly larger mugs or want to steep a bit more tea.
  • 65 mm: Ideal for larger mugs or even small teapots. This size offers plenty of room for larger tea leaves like oolong or white tea, which need more space to fully release their flavors.

Note: The larger the tea leaves, the more room they need to fully expand. So choose the size that best fits your favorite types of tea and drinking habits.

Kirsten's Tip

Try using it the other way around: fill the tea tong with mint, fresh ginger, or lemon slices and place it in a glass of cold water. After about 15 minutes, you’ll have a refreshing spa-style drink without any floating bits – and you can keep refilling it. Perfect for hot summer days or while working.

How to Use the Tea Tong to Its Full Potential

To get the most out of your tea tong, follow these simple steps:

  1. Choose the right size for your cup or teapot.
  2. Fill the tea tong with loose leaf tea – usually one full tong (about 2 grams) is enough for one cup.
  3. Squeeze the tong closed and make sure it’s securely shut.
  4. Place the tong into hot water and steep according to the tea type, usually between 2 and 8 minutes.
  5. Remove the tea tong, let it drain briefly, and place it on a small dish.

After use, simply tap out the used tea leaves and rinse the tong clean. For a deeper clean, it’s perfectly safe to put it in the dishwasher.

Pro tip: Avoid using a tea tong for very large tea leaves (such as some types of white tea or flowering teas), as these need more space to fully unfurl and release their flavor. In such cases, a larger tea strainer or a teapot with a built-in filter is a better choice.

Sustainable, Stylish, and Practical – The Tea Tong

A tea tong is not only practical, but also a sustainable choice. Instead of using disposable filters or paper tea bags, this metal tong can be reused again and again. It’s made of stainless steel, meaning it’s long-lasting, rust-resistant, and won’t discolor. Plus, it’s flavor-neutral, so you’ll only taste the tea – exactly as it should be.

On top of that, it’s a sleek and stylish item that fits perfectly in any kitchen or tea collection. Thanks to its compact size, it’s easy to take with you to work or on holiday – so you can enjoy your favorite loose leaf tea wherever you are.

Do you drink loose leaf tea? Then this tea tong is an absolute must-have. It not only makes brewing tea easier, but also more enjoyable. You get a better infusion, a richer flavor, and complete control over your tea moment.
