When friends enter our home, the first thing we offer them is a cup of tea. It is a tradition held sacred by many communities and while we may not be prepared with much else, we will always have a hot cup of tea for you on the darkest of winter days.
These stainless steel tea strainers are beautifully handwoven by skilled artisans and are everything we've been needing to replace our broken mesh strainers. They are thick, sturdy, and tightly woven. The handles extend comfortably to our widest mouth mugs and the center fits easily into our narrowest. Don't own a tea strainer? It's time to up your zero waste game, tea bags are out of fashion, friends. With style and grace, this tea strainer will keep you warm and well for many years.

ABOUT THE MAKER
Noah's Ark International Exports is a fair trade handicraft marketing organization in Moradabad, India. Noah's Ark provides benefits such as education and medical treatment for artisans and their families. As artisan businesses become more self-sufficient, Noah's Ark takes on new families. Since the company's inception, about 20 artisan workshops have become independent. Noah's Ark started in 1986, in one room of a family house in Moradabad. Businessman Samuel Masih observed that exporters and middlemen were taking advantage of handicraft artisans. He started Noah's Ark to promote these artisans and their crafts.
