i saw this about two months ago but it was out of stock in both silver and gold. I waited a month and then the gold was back in stock so i grabbed two - for myself and a friend . I am delighted with the quality and also the flow rate of the tea through the strainer. i thought it might get clogged up, but no, it works effortlessly. As my friend d and I are both gardeners, I think it is so apropo for anyone who loves the outdoors.
