Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Trudeau 0872035 Tea-Mendous 16-Ounce Travel Tea Tumbler
Customer Review: Useful, but quirks detract from otherwise wonderful item
Summary: 4 Stars
I had been looking for a solid infuser mug for work. I drink a lot of silver needles white tea and, to date, I have used a large stainless steel tea ball-type infuser in a bigger mug. Nice, but messy, and it scratches the inside of the mug a bit. So this looked like a better option.
The picture Amazon shows allowed me to zoom in and I noticed it had an extremely small mesh for the infuser. This was exactly what I was looking for. Between that and the metal clip to tighten the top, I figured tea couldn't get out and float around the cup. I was wrong.
The slider clip does work well and is tight, but the metal hinge is much looser; therefore, there is no real seal of the top lid to the rest of the infuser unit when you go to drink from the mug with the infuser still in it. Bigger leaves do not work their way out, but small ones do. I would like to see a tighter hinge top or a silicone seal around the lid to address this. Fortunately, if you wait a minute, the floating leaves do settle and then you can drink for a bit. Unfortunately, once you upright the tumbler, the leaves launch themselves around the mug again. Basically, you can drink from the mug once every minute and assure you aren't going to drink the loose tea leaves. This is somewhat annoying.
Amazon's description states this tumbler is dishwasher safe. A paper insert that came in the bottom of the tumbler states it is not dishwasher safe. I'm here to tell you it is NOT dishwasher safe, because the first time I put it in the dishwasher, it came out with a crack on the outer plastic portion. Do not wash this in the dishwasher. I had set the dishwasher on low heat, so it shouldn't have had an issue, but what this means is simply that Amazon's description is inaccurate and I should have followed the insert's directions, instead.
I had no problems with any other functionality of the mug, but I was left really wanting a handle. This mug is likely to be dropped, as there are only slick surfaces to grip it.
The tumbler is attractive and functional, but I'm left with a broken but still functional item with other flaws.
Unfortunately, this is about as good as it currently gets in the world of tea infuser mugs. It's worth your time as long as you can handle the concerns I've noted.
