A modern interpretation of the classic tea ball for loose tea, the Stainless Tea Stick (2005) is an innovative tool for brewing the perfect single cup. Spring-loaded, the tea-holding compartment slides out for easy filling and cleaning. Fill it with tea, add hot water and let it steep until it reaches your most ideal state of tea perfection. The Tea Stick is dishwasher safe, but washing is done most completely by hand. Made in U.S.A.
