Know before you buy
Yes, the tumbler includes a dual strainer and tea leaf stopper specifically designed for direct brewing. You can add your tea leaves, pour in hot water, and the built-in filters will keep the leaves contained while you drink.
No, this model is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the vacuum insulation and the textured finish, we recommend hand-washing the tumbler with mild dish soap.
No, the double-walled vacuum insulation ensures the exterior remains cool to the touch, even when the contents are steaming hot.
The lid is designed to be leak-resistant, making it reliable for everyday use. However, for maximum security, we recommend keeping the tumbler upright rather than tossing it loosely into a bag.
Due to the integrated handle and the specific dimensions of this model, it is not designed to be compatible with standard vehicle cup holders. It is best suited for desk use or carrying by the handle.
