Looks nice. So far the best thing I have found for taking tea to class is the Starbucks tumblers. Of all the travel cups I have tried they are the only ones that I have found that truly do not leak a drop when turned upside down; however, they have one or two kinds that do leak. This is key for me going to class as I stuff the tumbler in my backpack for the bikeride there and getting water on books/notes/electronics is bad news. How does this thing fare to a full hot cup when turned upside down?
Grad school really puts these to the test.

I use something close to this: http://www.amazon.com/Thermos-26-Ounce- ... gy_k_img_b

I absolutely love it. The only down side to it over the aladdin is you have to wake up a few minutes earlier to brew yourself. The benefits are that it does not leak at all. I can throw my backpack around with this in it and it will not leak a drop. Also, it will keep my tea hot for over 8 hours which is great for work. Never spilling a drop and having hot tea all day long is worth getting up 5-10 minutes earlier to me :)

I know a similar product by Zojirushi - D-Mug, it looks very cool and seems practical, but I haven't tried it myself yet

Interesting. I bought something similar and when I brewed green tea in it, it turned brown after a few hours. I'm not sure the tea was ruined but such a drastic change in color can't be good?
