Are the infuser and lid with this mug exactly the same as the 'stand-alone' FORLIFE Brew-in-Mug Extra-Fine Tea Infuser with Lid?

I am the wrong person to ask about this product. The mug started leaking within the first 6 months of use and the seller never resolved my issue. I think it is a terrible product.

This glass mug is heavy, but not too heavy something important when you want your tea or hot beverage to remain hot for awhile. And the lid does fit well without the diffuser as I sometimes put coffee in mine as well. Personally I like mine very much.

Hi Laura, the inside of the pot is all porselen and has seven small holes built in at the base of the spout. No infuser. I put the tea directly into the pot and then use a strainer to capture the tea leaves when I pour. The top has a notch built in that you align with the pot and then give a turn to lock it in and keep the lid from falling off when you pour but it is hard to break the habit of holding it. Not sure it it will fit a tea ball as i do not have one to compare but the opening of the pot is 2-1/2" and the depth is about 3-1/2" with the base about 4-1/2". The overall height of the tea pot is about 6". Hope this helps. Hi Laura, the inside of the pot is all porselen and has seven small holes built in at the base of the spout. No infuser.

No it is all one piece, but I pulled the infuser off... and the top still fits well

Good question. It snaps into place when you fold or unfold it, so you can lift it out of the mug with one handle. Each side of the handle folds separately, and it stores nicely in the plastic container if you want to make a quick cup in the morning and bring the wet leaves to work with you for a second steeping. Although it is not as big as my other infuser, it works perfectly with my 20 oz mug, and even fits the smaller opening on my 24 oz tea pot. I love it.

No, unfortunately the lid only fits into the infuser so there won't be any heat insulation without the infuser. I'm not sure where it's made.

It has a beautiful stainless steel infuser that is an open filter container that sits on the lip of the tea pot. The tea pot cover can fit right into the infuser. Since it just sits on the tea pot it can be lifted out to fill or wash. Bought it for my wife's birthday since she drinks tea daily. Only thing to watch is the spout can over flow through the spout if filled too much. With the large size this shouldn't be a problem. RJF

It is the same but an older version. The lid says "Takeya" on it just like my new set (of 2) from Costco for $20.

Yes- I never use the infuser. I just use it to boil water quickly and to heat water to specific temps for different kinds of tea.

Yes. The base of the infuser fits in the lid when it is turned upside down.

I can't speak for the Aladdin infuser, however I have been using the Teavana tumbler regularly for a year now and I still love it. We try to avoid products made mostly of plastic because my husband is a cancer survivor, so the stainless steel is an important feature for us. I don't like to drink out of it with the infuser still attached. The way Teavana's is designed, I'm able to remove it from the tumbler, set it aside and steep the same tea leaves again, if I want. I can't complain about the tumbler. It stays warm for hours when the lid is on. It's very portable. It works for my tea consumption style.

There is a metal insert to support the lid and to hold the infuser basket. You can remove the infuser without removing the insert.

Like other who have responded. It is my sincere belief that the mug is Stainless throughout. Am not sure of the quality of the lid and it's ability to seal without leaking.

yes, there is a separate lid - so you either store the infuser in the pot and have the top stored or you store the infuser and have the lid for the pot

No, Guinevere, it doesn't and it doesn't have an removable infuser included either. This is a nuisance if you don't already have an infuser that fits. I do (happy accident.) You might want to use it for white, green and oolong teas and thinking of multiple infusions. But it is usually best to pull the leaves out while you drink your tea so you don't leave the happy realm of perfectly steeped tea into the dank dungeon of stewed tea. In short, you need a infuser. I love this tea pot for its blue color and its size, but it does drip. Karon

I bought the infuser and lid kit for Groschr Glasgow I think it cost $13.50.It fit it well and use it as both infuser and lid.

Yes. The infuser is attached to the lid. The little lever on the side raises the infuser cup to the bottom of the lid. I also found it easier to clean than the cup I use in my single dose coffee machine.
