Lee's teaware note
“A bamboo strainer is simple by design. It catches the leaf, avoids a metal taste around delicate teas, and looks better on the tray than a gadget-heavy infuser.”

Teaware, not tea
The useful last step.Before the first sip.
Tunta is the teaware corner of the catalogue. These handwoven bamboo pieces sit over a cup or pot and catch loose leaves as brewed tea is poured through.
Handmade in Thailand
Individual weaving means small differences in colour and shape are normal.
Free-flowing pour
The open weave lets liquor pass while holding back the loose tea leaf.
Simple care
Rinse by hand after use and let the bamboo dry fully in moving air.
Two shapes, one job
Choose by handling.
Both are £12 and currently in stock. The distinction is the form you prefer to hold and store.

Useful answers
Before you choose.
Care matters more than complexity with natural bamboo teaware.
Is Tunta a tea brand?
No. This page contains bamboo tea strainers: reusable teaware for loose-leaf brewing.
Where are the strainers made?
Both designs are handmade in Thailand using woven bamboo.
How do I clean a bamboo tea strainer?
Remove the leaves, rinse by hand and leave it in a well-ventilated place until fully dry. Avoid prolonged soaking and dishwashers.
Will every strainer look identical?
No. Small variations in colour, weave and shape are expected in individually handmade bamboo pieces.
Which loose-leaf teas can I use?
Use it to catch most loose black, green, oolong or herbal leaves. Very fine powders such as matcha are intended to pass into the drink and need different tools.
