Tea-wise, I wish the bottle was designed in a way that let it stand upside-down (with the tea strainer at the bottom).

almogWhy is that? Does it make that much of a difference?

gprez2006Yes, the top strainer is meant for a pour-over. To use it as a tea infuser, one has to hold it upside down.

almog@almog Is there any reason why you couldn't put the loose tea in the bottle, and use the strainer to prevent tea leaves from entering your mouth when you drink?

mark2906You could do that, but that won't get the best out of your loose tea. Most teas require 1-5 minutes steep, longer steep extract undesired flavors, though some people like it this way.

almogI bought two of these a month or so ago - so far so good. I threw the tea strainer away almost instantly, filled it full of ice and water and off I went. The next day there was still ice in it. Going to work great for Gin & Tonics. I think the price was in the $18-19 range - a little high, maybe? I got an orange and a blue bottle. The orange bottle has a coating on the outside while the blue is smooth. I didn't know that, not that it matters now, but my family prefers the orange coating (and they like the strainer) - The blue one is mine.
