It's great to hear from someone with first-hand experience. :) I guess my strainer with the scissor-action handle is still the number one tea tool for the office... Thanks, Payton.

They're not bad, but not quite as amazing as they appear either. It's difficult to scoop leaves into the scoop without crushing other leaves, and closing it while keeping them in there can be tricky too. This all becomes doubly difficult if you have large full-leaf tea, which I generally do, since each leaf is so large. I keep one around my office, but don't use it too often.
