Product Specifications

The Icy-Finish Silver Tea Strainer provides consistent mesh filtration and a frosted silver surface suited for commercial, hospitality, and retail distribution channels.

Material & Construction

CharmsCook’s tea strainer is produced from food-grade 304 stainless steel (18% chromium, 8% nickel), which provides corrosion resistance and structural stability under repeated high-temperature rinsing cycles and daily commercial use.

The Icy-Finish Silver surface treatment applies a frosted matte texture to the outer body, resulting in a uniform cool-silver tone distinct from standard mirror polish or brushed stainless steel. This finish reduces the visibility of fingerprints and minor surface abrasions in high-turnover foodservice environments. The fine mesh basket maintains uniform aperture sizing to filter loose leaf tea while keeping adequate flow rate for standard cup and mug diameters.

All wetted surfaces meet FDA 21 CFR and EU LFGB (§30, §31) food contact material requirements. No coating, lacquer, or plating is applied to the mesh or interior surfaces that contact beverage.

Verification: 304 SS (18/8) composition — VERIFIED standard. Icy-Finish is a proprietary frosted surface treatment; physical parameters within normal industry range — UNABLE TO VERIFY exact process.
