I have used lots of different types of tea strainer and diffuser. This is by a long shot the best for keeping your cuppa leaf-free. There are virtually no escapees into your cup. But there are downsides - firstly the instructions to wash in the sink don't work if you are putting into a cuppa with milk - they very quickly smell like stale milk unless you wash them properly in the washing machine. Secondly the instruction to reuse throughout the day is not practical -trying to refill a wet teabag with dry leaves is messy and results in bits of leaf getting stuck all over the place. It's far better to buy enough to keep you going throughout the day. And if you like to put your milk first into your mug, you need enough to keep you going between washes. It's such a shame that they aren't sold in a big batch, rather than individually - this makes them expensive. They are available sold in larger quantities elsewhere - but not organic ones - which is a great selling point. Also you need to expect that they stain very quickly and look kind of manky - but that really doesn't affect their usability or how good they are.

In summation there are downsides, but personally I still think they are by far the best option I have ever tried for tea leaves because they keep your cuppa leaf-free.
