Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of **NEW Design** Glass and Stainless Steel Tea Brewing Tumbler - Large 16 Oz
Customer Review: UPDATE: 2 stars. Works, but poor construction.
Summary: 2 Stars
UPDATE 2:
I finally took the sticker off the bottom, and unhappily noted that there is a 2mm hole in the bottom of the cup plugged with a dab of silicone. Not a huge deal, but three other double-wall borosilicate containers I own do not have holes or silicone glue plugs. It's only a matter of time before that gets dislodged and stuff starts accumulating between the walls. Other brands have much better construction for the same or lower price.
UPDATE:
Used this almost daily for the past month. It's called "New Design," but they forgot to update some important features: the mesh in the strainer is too fine-gauge and easily distorts, looks as if it will tear or break off the frame soon and is already disfigured; the glass ledge on which the strainer sits is too shallow so that the strainer has been hard to seat at times, and has actually popped through and fallen into the glass on top of my tea leaves, making it difficult to extract. I still find the glass useful (but Teavana now also has a 16 oz. version with larger-gauge mesh and a better seat) and I would look for other options if I had to do this again. Overall design suits my purpose, though.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I had to upgrade from a 12-ounce version from Teavana. The glass is satisfactory; the only weakness I would point out is that the crimp in the glass on the inside which holds the strainer is not prominent enough, which makes inserting the strainer just a little more tricky than in the smaller one. It has never fallen out and rarely permits passage of a fragment of tea leaf.
Overall, I use this to brew oolong, green and white teas at work, and decant the tea after infusion into another glass for drinking. In other words, I use this as a portable teapot for some fine teas (I also use a timer and a digital thermometer to optimize conditions for what is really an aqueous extraction), and this works very well even in my cubicle. Some strains of oolong, green, and white teas may be infused multiple times--up to 8 or more--and this tumbler works perfectly for those brewing conditions.
