MARIAGE FRÈRES - Cotton filter

Finally, a filter that doesn't leach that bleachy taste into my Darjeeling. The cotton is thick enough to keep even the finest leaves out, yet the tea comes through crystal clear every time. It's become a permanent part of my brewing ritual.

I've been using this filter for my loose leaf teas every morning, and the non-chlorinated cotton makes a noticeable difference in how clean the cup tastes. It steeps evenly without leaving any fuzzy residue behind.

The cotton is so fine and unbleached that I don’t get any papery aftertaste in my cup, just the tea’s true character. Steeping feels more deliberate now, and cleanup is a quick rinse.
