Sweese 16 OZ Porcelain Tea Mug with Infuser and Lid, Loose Leaf Tea Cup, Gifts for Tea Lover, Turquoise

I'm very pleased with the Sweese ceramic tea cups. The handle is wider, more comfortable, and more stable than a previous "ForLife" lidded cup I purchased. The Sweese handle is big enough for large hands, yet shaped better than the previously mentioned product. Sweese cups come with a fine metal filter for loose leaf tea, but are also useful for coffee grounds, should you wish to make a single cup of drip coffee (pour near-boiling water slowly over the grounds as it drips). The lid is used to cover the tea while it steeps (keeping it hot while steeping), then serves as a coaster/dripper for the filter after brewing your tea/coffee. The cup size is generous enough to accomodate lattes, cocoa topped with whipped cream, or any other beverage requiring head room. Thankfully, the inside is white - this helps to see the true color of the tea as it brews or to determine the contents (a dark inside color makes it difficult to see the color of the beverage inside) . The coaster-lid is flat and stable - no wobbling. The base of the cup is wider than some of the other tapered tea cups - this too is a plus, as the cup is more stable when setting it down (this is good for us older folks). The cup is dense and thicker than other cheaply made cups on the market. The colors and finish are lovely, making this an attractive cup. My cups were packaged individually in white boxes and bubble-wrapped, then placed in a shipping box, with a warranty, and a coupon for a free metal measuring Tea Spoon. Being individually packaged is ideal for gift giving, or for mailing. Definitely a 5-Star cup.

This mug is wonderful!! It is a perfect size and very well made. Has some weight to it and makes having tea and other beverages a great experience. Made of porcelain and the strainer is made of stainless steel. Definitely recommend, would make a great gift and comes in many colors. Would definitely buy again.

This cup is not only beautiful in color, but I just made jasmine green tea in it and it worked so nicely. In fact since it is summer, I threw in 3 tea bags, filled the cup with boiling water, and they sat at the right height without the label falling in. About 5 minutes later, I held onto the handle fine without burning my hands, and poured the brew into a pitcher full of ice with enough to serve four people. Worked like a breeze! And with my loose leaf tea, it’s easy to spoon in since the filter is wide as the cup, and so easy to lift out without leaving any leaves behind. Before I had a little tea ball which had holes just big enough for bits to come out. Was not the most desirable to have to keep dodging leaves as you are drinking. What is also is the nice lid also functions as a rest when you take out the filter.

This is a very nice, sturdy, durable mug that doesn't skimp on the amount of your drink. The strainer basket is great for loose leaf tea because it sits lower in the mug to steep, and it's wide enough to make cleaning out the basket much easier compared to other brands. Also, the handle shape makes it easier to hold without burning fingers on the side of the cup, which holds heat well. I will be ordering in other colors.

I use this mug at work on my mug warmer. It holds a lot of tea, is easy to clean, comfortable to hold and works great. I use the lid as a spoon rest or cookie plate. I like my finum tea filters better than the one included but this filter is good. The cup is a bit heavy and thick, lots of folks like that. I would prefer a thinner walled mug, but it’s not bone china. It’s a nice mug, and giftable.

This was a splurge buy. I'm really happy that I bought it. I'd been using a basket infuser in a regular mug for quite a while, but once I'd moved to an area with colder winters I found the the tea wouldn't stay hot as long as I like. When reading or sitting at computer it's easy to lose track of time. At any rate, tea stays hotter longer with the cover. Because the mug is deep the tea cools off slower as well. This also makes a larger handle possible. Preheating the mug also keeps tea warmer longer and the ceramic seems to hold a lot of heat.The infuser seems to be high quality. The mesh does a good job of straining the powder at the bottom of my tea canisters. It's not as quite good as my old basket infuser, but comes pretty close. It can hold a lot of tea under water (I like my tea strong).My mug arrived in good shape. The packaging gave good protection. It seems to be sturdy. I've fumbled the lid a few times and dropped the mug in our stainless steel sink once without any breakage.The surfaces are very polished (one reason I was dropping the lid at first) so the mug rinses out well and cleans up easily. So far it hasn't stained at all.We don't have a dishwasher and I don't boil water in the microwave, so I don't know how well it does with those.By the way, I have no idea what the item description means by "draw your own design".

The strainer is nice and deep to keep the tea leaves totally saturated. The cup is just the right size for me and the lid is just a bonus.

Except for the size, the quality and ease of cleaning is a plus. Love the simple design and practicality where the cover can be used as a holder for the strainer

I like the color and smooth texture.Product looks good quality
