Know before you buy
No, the bamboo lid is designed to retain heat while steeping and serve as a coaster for the infuser; it is not sealed and will leak if tilted, making this mug best suited for home or office use.
No, this mug is not dishwasher or microwave safe. We recommend hand washing the glass and infuser to maintain their quality and longevity.
The removable infuser is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, which is durable and ensures it won't impart any metallic flavor to your tea.
The mug is made of borosilicate glass, which is lightweight and durable. While it does not have a handle, the cylindrical shape is designed to be easily gripped, though you should use caution if the tea is freshly boiled.
The 17-ounce capacity is the total volume of the mug. Please note that placing the infuser inside will displace some of that liquid volume.
