Clear Glass Stash Logo Travel Mug

Purchased this travel mug several months back, it replaced a plastic one I found in China three years ago.

It's nice looking, but the cover is difficult to align with the threads and a good seal requires significant torque. It often leaks, frustrating.

The tea sits on the top therefore best to fill water before adding loose tea, or the expanding tea will cause the water to back up. Another Be Careful it's Hot.

Be extremely careful when removing the top. Hot water will get yah - Ouch!

When making a short tea, turning the unit on its top is necessary. The top, however, is contoured therefore it is unstable on the surface it's sitting - Oh and it often leaks.

Why not have the tea basket threaded to the bottom?

Nice looking but mechanically unsound - Tea engineering 101 :)

The design is great, the mug is beautiful, and no leaking so far.

My only gripe with this travel mug is that it does not keep your coffee/tea latte/tea hot/warm longer than one hour, so what's the purpose? It also has a wide opening to sip from, so if it falls or tips over, all or most of the content will come out.

I poured my tea latte this morning straight from the coffee maker (on heat and froth) (just got the mug in the mail yesterday). I put the lid on right after pouring and set it for about 5 minutes before going to work (30 minute commute). When I got to work, the tea latte was barely warm.

This mug is perfect for someone that is looking to consume their tea shortly after pouring, and not traveling farther than 30-45 minutes.

I'll use this travel mug for my office or home, but not to take out anywhere as it won't stay hot/warm for long. I'll go back to using my Teavana Stainless Steel Insulated Tumbler, for traveling as it stays hot/warm for hours on end.

Needs 6 or more stars. Last thing first: it's beautiful and even more so when light shines through the tea (ok, corny but just look at it sometime). Keeps the tea hot much longer than a mug (can read the whole paper and have a nosh and it's still nice and hot) and so easy to carry out and about.

Loose or bag teas work great. Sturdier than it looks, I've banged it on the desk a couple times and it's in perfect shape still.

I happily recommend it to anyone who loves to take their tea with them to the office or even a long drive on a cold morning.

Oh yeah, it's a good conversation starter too....where'd you get it.......what's Stash?........keep your tea hot?.......tea?what's wrong with coffee?

Tea's ready now so must go have a sip.
