Tea Travel Mug
Best portable solution for loose-leaf tea drinkers on the move.
The Tea Travel Mug is a sleek, 12-ounce mug, perfect for taking your tea on the go. It features a 3-piece design which includes a BPA-free insulated polycarbonate mug, a mesh strainer, and a screw-on lid. This travel mug is convenient, easy-to-use, leak-proof, and break-resistant, capable of keeping your tea hot for at least an hour.
