The perfect travel mug for loose leaf tea?

by FoolongChoo » Jun 5th, '08, 13:26

Has anyone found a great loose-leaf travel mug? I have done Google searches til I am blue in the face, and haven't been able to find anything that has a built-in infuser basket that is easily removed. Everything I have found keeps the leaves out of your mouth, but still steeping until you finish drinking, which obviously could result in over-steeped, bitter tea. :cry:

I would love to hear about other people who perhaps have discovered something that I haven't! :)

Another thought is to just use a fillable tea bag.

These are great, and IMO the best on the market, and I have tried A LOT:

Voilà! This would likely be my pick. It seems neater than using a brew basket you have to pull out and rest somewhere.

Don't forget to check out "leaving leaves in bottle" thread. You might also want to search the forum a bit: I know these apparatuses have been discussed before.

I must say, that appears to be the most well executed travel device for tea I have ever seen. And it isn't even outrageously priced. If only I had known about that before I traveled to California.
