Can I use these glasses for hot tea? If yes, is it hot to hold?

The product is made of a hard plastic, so it probably could hold hot tea and not compromise the material. That being said, it would be very hot to the touch. You would be better off searching for a double-walled glass.

IMO these would not melt but they would not turn hot tea into iced tea. They keep already cold beverages cold i.e. sodas or tea that has been in the fridge but in my experience they will not turn room temperature beverages (tap water, etc.) ice cold.

I haven't personally used them for hot beverages, but if you're looking for an alternative to plastic, I know that glass mugs designed specifically for hot beverages are available. I'll brew a pot, and pour it in the glass and confirm whether or not it can withstand high temps. Great question.

Hi Shawn! I used these for a party, but I didn't put a hot liquid in them. If you are wanting to put something really hot in them, then I don't think this item would work. Warm, perhaps but nothing extremely hot. I hope this helps.

Yes! I have used these for cold as well as hot coffee and hot tea. Never any problem!

No, I don't think so and I had no intentions of trying. I brought the glasses for drinking, they are advertised as drinking glasses, so I'd be very skeptical of using them for anything else.

You can but I don't think drinking hot liquids would be a good idea because the chemicals might leach out, plus it smells horrible when heated . I would not recommend it for drinking mugs only for decorative ones.

They are metal.....so depending on how you would hold the handle would determine if it would be too hot to hold! I have not tried hot drinks...only use for cold! Not sure if something hot would make the copper change color?!? Sorry, do not have a definitive answer for you.

I think they can withstand heat; just not from cold to hot. I think most glass is like that.

I've never used them for hot liquids, but I am pretty sure you can . They are used for canning preserves, and they are usually hot when they are put in the jars.

These are made of tempered glass, so yes - they're fine for hot beverages. However, since you have no handle, the glass will be pretty hot.

It really depends on how hot your water is. If you use boiling water (not really recommended for most teas if you don't want it bitter) then the glass will get uncomfortably hot to hold (not leave actual burns, just uncomfortable to hold). I found that the outside only remains uncomfortably hot for a short time if you use really hot water. If you plan on filling it with boiling water and then heading out the door, you might want to purchase some sort of a sleeve for it.

I know you can drink cold drinks, haven't tried hot- they are plastic- so I'm not 100% sure.

You should not heat the glass directly on a heating element, while sturdy for glass, I don't think it would withstand direct heat. You could take the basket out and use it for tea bags, though.

I use these bottles for hot tea all the time and have never had any problems. In the few years that I have owned these bottles, I have only ever lost one when I accidentally left the bottle full of water in the car overnight during an extremely cold winter night. I think that as long as you avoid extreme temperature changes you will be fine. You can always run the bottle under warm water first to warm it up. Also I never pour boiling water directly into the glass, but wait a minute or two.

They would probably be too hot, but maybe you could find or make a sleeve for them. Not sure how the copper would alter the taste of tea.
