I use my steeper most each and every day and I absolutely love it. When I first started buying David's tea I thought it was a pointless item but I think each and every loose leaf tea lover should own one.
Thank you!! This was exactly what I needed. I use my steeper pretty much daily and of course I clean it but I had no idea how to take it apart. I thought I was going to need a new one. Now it looks like brand new 😁. My tip: try baking soda for cleaning stains. Wet your steeper, pour baking soda onto the stained areas and leave it for about a minute. Then use the slightly damp baking soda to scrub it clean. It's like magic.
THANK YOU for this video!! I had never taken my steeper all the way apart, but dropped it last month and the bottom piece came off. I thought it was broke, until I totally took it apart (cleaned it well while I had it apart) and figured out how to put it back together. Took me many trys before it actually worked again. Love your videos! and CONGRATS to you and your new hubby :)
Thank you for sharing your experience. You are not only attractive but present yourself in a very lovely manner ,meaning an attractive person on the inside ,with Respect .
Super helpful, thank you! I was looking for metal mesh ball alternative for loose leaf teas. I'm trying to avoid the single use bags wrapped in plastic as much as possible. Oh, and thank you for the tip on turmeric teas!
I am looking for something that will work with powdered herbs, to keep the residual grounds out? Do you think this would work with powdered or granulized powders?
I just got my steeper and was wondering if it was possible to take it apart for a thorough cleaning, so your video is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! I honestly just dump them out in the garbage, and whatever won't come out I rinse down the garbage disposal. Someday when I have a yard I'd love to compost them and use them in a garden though!
REPAIR IDEA: I discovered this after watching your video...Great tips btw! FYI: 2 1/2 tsp = 1 Tbsp. too. I was ready to toss my steeper because my release valve, I think it is called...(the moveable base that releases the brewed tea into your cup) was stuck. It had been washed and put together incorrectly. Your tip regarding lining up the tabs from the valve/base part (bumps) to the notches (ridges) on the pitcher helped me figure out why it was stuck. I removed all other parts: the filter, the silicone nipple and silicone seal. At this point I used the end of a wooden spoon and a mallet, gently I tapped on the centre stem/pin and voila! the release valve or base popped out. Thankfully, I was able to follow your instructions and reassemble my steeper correctly and save it from ending up in the dump and saving me $20-$30 bucks. Thanks a bunch!
This video is awesome! Do you think you could do a cleaning video like this for the tea press? I clean mine after every use but I still seem to get tea stains!
I just tried to use mi d snd the leaves came through, realized I am missing that ball thing you mentioned. DavidsTea gas closed down here. Any ideas how I can use it still without leaves coming through? May be I need a new steeper?
Thank you for this video, you got me addicted to DT and now I just can't stop... I absolutely love the Steeper and use it for absolutely everything. I would enjoy a video about the full deep cleaning progress if you don't mind since I used it with some of the dessert teas for lattes and now the entire steeper smells a bit sweet, even for herbal teas and I don't know how to fully clean it out the best I can.
Love the video! I was debating whether I was going to buy it or not ☺️ thanks for helping make up my mind. I do have one question. How hot should the water be? Can it be used right after it stops boiling? I have an electrical kettle. Also, can I leave it steeping longer than suggested? Again, thanks for the video!
I am always confused when it comes to the DAVIDsTEA steeper. My issue is there are no “fill to here” lines on the steeper such as “fill here for hot tea,” or “fill here for iced tea.” Now the directions give the ounces to fill it up with. But I noticed you don’t use a measuring cup, and neither do they use a measuring cup when I go inside of a DAVIDsTEA store. So is it just by experience you know what the milliliters are or the ounces are? I’m always worried that I’m going to add too much water for hot or iced tea, or not enough water. Any comments you have on this would be appreciated, because I would really like to use the steeper. When I use the various DAVIDsTEA tea presses, for example, they do have lines on the tea press as to where to fill the water for hot tea or for iced tea. But for some reason there are no “fill to here” lines on the steeper. Thank you from Los Angeles :-). And congratulations to the both of you on your wedding °o°
Thank you!! It is weird that there aren't "fill here" lines, especially since it comes with instructions for the different teas you can make. For a hot tea, I fill it almost all the way to the top. For an iced tea, I used to use the David's Tea logo as a guide and fill to about there, but looking at my new Steeper, the logo is much lower than it was on the old version. A good rule of thumb for iced tea is to fill it about half way. For lattes, it should be super concentrated so I fill it a little more than just enough to cover all the tea leaves. I hope this was helpful!! Thanks for watching!! 💕
Here is a suggestion from a friendly peruser. Fill the cup you are using with the water first, then pour it into the steeper. As long as you do not overfill using your cup, you should have a perfect cup.
I would soak it with a denture cleaner tablet!! Those work miracles for removing tea stains. I'd probably soak it overnight and then try to scrub it out with dish soap. I hope this helps. Good luck!!
I don't think it's 18oz. I guess I didn't fill it all the way to the very top, but since the lid part of the steeper is slanted, you can't really fill it all the way or else it'll spill. Definitely didn't fill the cup all the way, so I think you're right!
another Chanel on RUclips is so negative and she’s always acting like she’s a know it all! It’s terrible! She has issues with everything!(the staff, the product, the sites) everything. AND based employees. Soo happy people like you are still on internet. The internet has become the worst of the worst of humans having avenue to voice all the negative thoughts that comes across their brain.
Thank you!! I just love tea and tea wares lol and try to focus my channel around the things I love! And since I've worked at DT and a few different service industry jobs since then, it makes me sad to watch videos where people tell stories of bad experiences they've had in stores. It's one thing to provide feedback and give constructive critiques, but totally not cool to go to the internet to publicly shame employees who are just following corporate rules and doing the best they can. Thank you for watching my videos! 💖
Just bought one last week
Best David’s tea videos! You are always positive and informative! I work at David’s tea and love watching your vids!
Thank you so much!! 💖

This is exactly what I was looking for! Definitely going to order one of these
Thanks for posting such an awesome video on the steeper. It was thorough and you are an amazing presenter.
Thank you so much! 💓
I recently got iced tea pitcher for my iced tea. Definitely a consideration to purchase at some point
Thank you so much! I have had mine for some years, but didn't know i could take it apart without breaking it to clean it better.
Thank you for sharing your experience. You are not only attractive but present yourself in a very lovely manner ,meaning an attractive person on the inside ,with Respect .
Thank you so much!
Yay I just bought a steeper and some tea’s. can’t wait for them to arrive. So I decided to watch on how to use it so I’m prepared 😁
I was just looking for a DavidsTea steeper video yesterday!! Thank u for uploading this.
I'm glad I can help!! 💖 The Steeper is one of my favorite DT products!
Thank you so much for your video! It was my first time steeping my hot tea today & I love it! Thank you for being so throughly detailed too!
I really appreciate seeing you take the steeper apart and put it together again. This is not shown on the site.
Glad I could help!
Thank you for the tip about not brewing tumeric based teas in there!!
Super helpful, thank you! I was looking for metal mesh ball alternative for loose leaf teas. I'm trying to avoid the single use bags wrapped in plastic as much as possible. Oh, and thank you for the tip on turmeric teas!
I would really love to see a video of the different kinds of tea bags and what kind to look for to get the best result.
Thank you I couldn’t figure out how to use mine! ❤️
Glad I could help!
Just got this and had no idea about making tea unless its in a bag. Thank you for this video
Yay! There are so many ways to make and enjoy tea!! So glad you enjoyed my video!
I am looking for something that will work with powdered herbs, to keep the residual grounds out? Do you think this would work with powdered or granulized powders?
I just got my steeper and was wondering if it was possible to take it apart for a thorough cleaning, so your video is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

Thank you for the video, where do you usually dispose your spent tea leaves?
Thanks for watching! I honestly just dump them out in the garbage, and whatever won't come out I rinse down the garbage disposal. Someday when I have a yard I'd love to compost them and use them in a garden though!
Just a quick question, can I make a pitcher of iced tea with the steeper? If so,how ? is the steeper only good for one cup of hot tea?
REPAIR IDEA: I discovered this after watching your video...Great tips btw! FYI: 2 1/2 tsp = 1 Tbsp. too. I was ready to toss my steeper because my release valve, I think it is called...(the moveable base that releases the brewed tea into your cup) was stuck.

Yay!! So glad you were able to fix it!
This was super helpful!! I had a steeper but never knew how to clean it. I might have to get a new one now!
It's awesome if you love making iced tea and lattes!!
Thank you! Perfect tutorial!!
That is so cool 😂
I love David’s tea! Forever nut is the best! 😊
A classic!! So good!
This video is awesome! Do you think you could do a cleaning video like this for the tea press? I clean mine after every use but I still seem to get tea stains!
I could definitely do that!
@@DanaDeStefano Thank you!

Very informative.
Glad I can help!! 💖
so what would you do IF you happen to use tumeric and its now stained ?? trying baking soda not sure its working.
I would soak it with a denture cleaner tablet!! Those work miracles for removing tea stains. I'd probably soak it overnight and then try to scrub it out with dish soap. I hope this helps. Good luck!!
@@DanaDeStefano it is definitely improved!!! Thank you for the suggestion
@@SheIsCurvyStrong Ahhh I'm so happy to hear that!
Thanks for sharing! Question - is the steeper a true 18 ounces? Being that the mug is 16 ounces I thought it would fill much higher, even overflow.
I don't think it's 18oz. I guess I didn't fill it all the way to the very top, but since the lid part of the steeper is slanted, you can't really fill it all the way or else it'll spill. Definitely didn't fill the cup all the way, so I think you're right!
How can I do more like? This video is LIT
Have you ever been so far as to even think you want to do more like?
I didn't see my question pop up
It's too late for my steeper. I made a turmeric tea in it.
Nooo 😭😭😭 RIP!!
@@DanaDeStefano Got the yellow ring now. Been vinegaring like crazy and it's still there. I'm resigned
Me here to find out how to use it because I just flooded my bedroom floor with slightly flavoured hot water 👁 👄 👁
We've all been there 🤣 hope this video helped!!
Thiiiiccccc .... I mean good video.
I’m literally SO STUPID
