Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Giving this item two stars because both the picture and the title are misleading. The ball pictured is not the same as what you get. The mesh in the ball I received is much larger than what is pictured, and loose leaf tea sifts right out of it. Also the phrase "tea infuser" in the product listing does not jive with the retail packaging on the box, which describes the ball as a spice ball and shows a picture of some rather large spices (like dried red thai peppers) rather than tea or anything smaller. I imagine this ball would have any number of uses as a cooking implement, and it seems to be sturdily constructed (hence the 2 stars instead of 1), but do not buy this if you intend to use it to brew tea because it is not designed for that and should not be marketed as such.
