Scoop up your loose tea with the open end, place it in your cup of boiling water and make your cup of tea with rich loose teas (we have five for you to choose). When your tea is done, clean up is a snap as you remove the end and simply rinse away the tea leaves. Easy to scoop the tea in, stir it in the cup and easy to clean - why didn't someone think of this sooner? Stainless steel tea stick is 6.25 inches long. Imported.
