How best to use my Chilly’s Tea Strainer?

So you’ve decided to join the loose leaf generation? We can get behind that!

Did you know that many tea bags are made with a sealing plastic called polypropylene? This material is non-biodegradable and non-recyclable, leaving millions of tea bags piled up in landfills (or worse). 

Luckily, there is an alternative! Our Chilly’s Tea Strainer is super simple to use. Here’s how:

- Place the strainer into your Chilly’s Coffee Cup.

- Spoon desired tea leaves (vanilla rooibos, anyone?) into the strainer. Chilly’s recommends one heaped spoonful per 340ml cup.

- Fill the cup up with boiling water.

- Allow the tea to steep. The longer the steep, the stronger the tea!

- Using the handles, remove the strainer from the cup. The strainer comes with a handy tray to rest your strainer atop, preventing drips on your tabletop. Please take care when removing, as the handles may be hot.

- To clean, tip the strainer over a bin to remove the tea leaves and wash with hot soapy water or clean it on the top rack of your dishwasher. Wash or soak immediately after use to avoid staining.
