Wide mouth and handle are perfect for resting in teapots, mugs, cups, or glass bottles. Two handles on both side, easier putting and lifting, avoid being scalded by the hot steam. Handles are longer than other tea infusers. Fits more kinds of cups or teapots. And sit more stably. The fine mesh will filter tea leaves thus having mess free tea. Reverse side of the lid can be used as a cup mat. Place the infuser on the lid & keep the table neat.
