Kogu was born in Tsubame-Sanjo, Japan, a city famous for metal craftsmanship for over 400 years. We saw a problem: regular strainers let gritty tea leaves through, ruining the smooth mouthfeel of premium sencha and gyokuro. Our master craftsmen developed this deep mesh sieve to solve that. Using a patented ultra-fine weave, it filters out every tiny particle, giving you restaurant-quality tea at home. Every strainer is hand-finished and inspected. Made in a GMP-certified workshop, this product quickly became a top-seller for loose-leaf tea enthusiasts, praised for its clarity and durability.

The Kogu Ultra-Fine Stainless Steel Tea Strainer is crafted from high-quality 304 stainless steel, a food-grade alloy composed primarily of iron, chromium (at least 18%), and nickel (at least 8%). Chromium is included to provide exceptional corrosion resistance, preventing rust and ensuring the strainer remains hygienic and durable even with frequent exposure to moisture and acidic teas. Nickel enhances the alloy's strength and luster, contributing to a smooth, polished finish that is easy to clean and maintains its appearance over time. The ultra-fine mesh sieve, also made from stainless steel, features precisely woven strands that create minute apertures, designed to effectively filter out even the smallest tea leaves, herbs, or sediment without clogging. This construction eliminates the need for additional materials like plastics or coatings, offering users a pure, non-reactive brewing experience. The benefits include longevity due to stainless steel's robustness, food safety as it resists leaching chemicals, ease of maintenance with dishwasher compatibility, and superior filtration that ensures a clear, grit-free beverage, enhancing both flavor and presentation.
