Loose leaf tea just got a lot less complicated. The OXO twist tea ball makes it easy to scoop up the desired amount of loose leaf tea, and then steep. The twisting feature ensures that a generous amount of tea leaves stays inside the ball when you close it, while the spinning design makes the Tea Ball easy to clean. The twisting tea ball has a long, stainless steel neck to accommodate many different sizes of mugs and cups, and the soft, non-slip grip makes stirring comfortable. The twisting tea ball is also great for steeping herbs and spices into your favorite recipe
