Normann Copenhagen has just launched a practical and flexible tea strainer made of silicone and stainless steel, designed by the German design-duo Böttcher+Henssler . The tea strainer serves both as a tea strainer and a small bowl that collects the excess water and prevents table spills.
Böttcher+Henssler explain: ’An evening as we sat together with a few friends, we came to speak about how there was no solution to the simple problem of where to put your strainer after having brewed a cup of tea. After that we began working on creating a smart and initiative solution on how to brew tea and prevent table spills with the same product.’
The tea strainer retains the heat and flavour while the tea is brewing, and when it is ready, the small built-in handle makes it easy to take out of the cup without burning your fingers. Like the brim of a hat, the folded silicone prevents dripping. The tea strainer is suitable both for cups, mugs and teapots and is easy to clean by dismantling the two parts that can be put directly in to the dishwasher.
