The strainer body is shaped as a spread butterfly — wings rendered in finely detailed alloy filigree, with scrolling botanical motifs pressed into the metal surround. At the center sits a precision-pierced mesh with openings under 0.2mm, small enough to catch fine tea particles while allowing the brewed liquid to pass through freely. The handle is fitted with a smooth resin grip in a muted purple tone, providing a comfortable, secure hold. The whole piece is handmade, giving each one a slightly individual character within the shared design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFine-Hole Alloy Mesh, Under 0.2mm\u003c\/strong\u003e — The strainer mesh is pierced with uniform holes smaller than 0.2mm, sized to catch even fine tea particles and dust while allowing brewed liquid to flow smoothly. The result is a clean, clear pour with no grit and no sediment in the cup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade Butterfly Filigree Frame\u003c\/strong\u003e — The butterfly-shaped alloy frame is pressed and formed by hand, with botanical and scrollwork detail across the wings. The level of surface detail is more typical of decorative metalwork than functional kitchenware, giving the strainer a presence on the tea table that a plain round strainer does not.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to Clean\u003c\/strong\u003e — The mesh openings are uniform and do not trap tea particles under normal rinsing. A brief rinse under warm running water after each use clears the mesh without scrubbing, and the alloy frame cleans easily with a soft cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComfortable Resin Handle\u003c\/strong\u003e — The muted purple resin handle provides a smooth, comfortable grip with enough length and taper to hold the strainer steady over a cup or fairness pitcher during the pour. It complements the silver-toned alloy frame without competing with it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile Fit for Most Vessels\u003c\/strong\u003e — At approximately 7.3cm wide, the strainer sits comfortably over the opening of most standard fairness pitchers and teacups, making it compatible with a broad range of existing tea setups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alloy frame and mesh, resin handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCraft:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handmade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMesh hole diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt;0.2 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 12.3 cm (L) × 7.3 cm (W) × 3.2 cm (H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rinse mesh under warm running water after each use; wipe the alloy frame and handle dry; avoid prolonged soaking or abrasive scrubbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHold the strainer by the resin handle and position it over a fairness pitcher, cup, or gaiwan opening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour the brewed tea from the teapot through the center of the strainer.

Wiping the frame dry after each use and avoiding prolonged soaking will help maintain the original finish. A soft polishing cloth can restore the surface tone if preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this strainer compatible with both gongfu and Western-style tea setups?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. The strainer works with any pour-over style of brewing — simply hold it over any cup or pitcher as you pour. Its width makes it compatible with a wide range of vessel openings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How fine is the mesh, and will it slow down the pour?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The mesh openings are under 0.2mm — fine enough to catch small particles without significantly restricting flow. Most teas pour through at a normal rate; very finely broken teas or fannings may flow slightly slower.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this a handmade piece, and will there be minor variations?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. Each strainer is handmade, and minor variations in the filigree detail or surface texture are a natural result of the handcraft process. These variations are characteristic of the piece rather than defects.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ovanyu","offers":[{"title":"Purple","offer_id":44022719512639,"sku":null,"price":5.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":44022719545407,"sku":null,"price":5.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/4674\/9759\/files\/ovanyu-16-03_processed_shopify.jpg?v=1790849765","url":"https:\/\/ovanyu.com\/products\/tea-accessory-exquisite-butterfly-alloy-tea-infuser","provider":"榮國輝國際貿易 (香港) 有限公司","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
