For the chai lover, a handcrafted brass tea strainer for the daily ritual.

Made in solid food-grade brass by artisans in India, it is a considered addition to your tea routine and a thoughtful gift for a fellow chai drinker. Brass darkens beautifully with use, taking on a warmer patina over the years.

Care Instructions

Brass is naturally antimicrobial, so a wash every few weeks is plenty. Hand wash with mild soap and a non-scratch sponge, then dry immediately with a soft cloth. For a brighter shine, use Pitambri powder mixed to a thick paste, rubbed gently in circular motions, then rinsed and dried. No dishwasher. A little patina is part of the piece.

Brass Care

Keeping your food grade brass pieces from Vaarsa London is easier than you think. Simple steps you can use:

📌Start by gently emptying the piece and hand-washing the residue.

📌Then, for the deep clean mix Pitambri powder with a little water to make a thick paste. Apply it on the brass in gentle circular motions. Let it sit for a minute then rub again, especially over tarnished spots. It’s normal if the paste darkens, that means it’s working.

📌Rinse thoroughly with water and dry completely using a soft microfibre cloth before you use it again.

And that’s it. Your brass, cleaned, cared for, and glowing like new.
