Umbrella-shaped Blue and White Porcelain Tea Strainers

These little Umbrella Tea Strainer sets are adorable. They look like a little porcelain umbrella and fit into a stand.

They are made to catch any leaves that haven’t been caught yet when you brew loose tea. They are not meant to just dump the tea and leaves into. You pour through the strainer on the pot and this catches any leaves that might get through.

Or you can put your sugar cube in the umbrella. Pour the tea over it, it melts with the tea and doesn’t need to be stirred in.
