I love the fact that my Contigo hot beverage container has an option for steeping loose tea. It's so easy to put in the loose tea and attach it to the lid so the tea can steep. Cleaning is a breeze as well. What a fantastic invention!

I was using a super annoying type of tea infuser before and it became a bit messy, this one however is amazing! My previous one was like a spherical cube, if that makes sense? A cylinder, I believe is the word I'm looking for. I much prefer the sphere ones such as this one, it has more than enough room for tea and is adorable!

This nifty little device is a great invention.  The spout of my new teapot is well-protected from being chipped on my sink, which is always the reason for having had to replace teapots in the past. The cover was easy to put on the spout, has stayed on securely, and with daily washing, hasn't stained over several weeks.  I highly recommend this cover to ensure the long life of your favorite teapot.

Somebody had given me some loose leaf tea and I didn't have anything to make it with and this looked like it would work well.  I am so happy with my purchase.  Easy to use and works fast.  I love strong tea and I have a hard time getting it strong enough without waiting forever when using teabags. I couldn't believe how much faster this was.  In less than 30 seconds it was dark and delicious. The strainer is very fine mesh and is easy to clean if you clean it right away.  Would recommend.  The perfect item for a tea drinker,  throw in a cute mug and some tea and you've got yourself a great gift!

I am surprised by the usefulness of this cup and the elegance of the design! I love it and use it every day now for brewing and drinking loose leaf tea.

Before I had this cup, I used the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Perfect-Loose-Tea-Maker-22-Oz-Smart-Bottom-Dispensing-Tea-Infuser-Teapot-Different-from-Teavana-Ingenuitea-Or-Adagio-Built-In-Filter-Strainer-for-Loose-Leaf-Tea-Cup/dp/B00TYBNUXA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Perfect Loose Tea Maker -22 Oz Smart Bottom Dispensing Tea Infuser Teapot - Different from Teavana Ingenuitea Or Adagio -Built In Filter Strainer for Loose Leaf Tea Cup</a>&nbsp;or a french press. They both worked okay, but I hated having to hand wash both the cup AND the tea brewer afterwards. A french press and a teapot have greater capacity than the Emoi cup but I found that I could never drink the tea fast enough and the tea leaves would end up over steeping and turn bitter in the pot.

With this cup, I never run into the problem of over steeping. When I steep the tea, I use the silicone lid and cover the tea to help it steep. After about 4 minutes, I turn the lid over and remove the strainer basket and set it on the lid. When I am finished with my tea, I can put the strainer back in and brew and second or third cup. I have also used a stainless steel tea ball before but I did not like those because of the poor quality of the tea balls  and how they would either fall in the mug or I would not know where to put it after I take it out of the mug. With the Emoi system, I never have to worry about where to put your tea bag or tea leaves after you are done steeping. The stainless steel basket for the Emoi seems sturdy, well constructed with no sharp edges, and easy to clean. There is a silicone ring around the top of the basket. The only problem was I brewed some loose leaf chai and the ground black pepper bits fell through the basket. Ground peppercorn is small so it is expected.

The quality of the cup is great, too, and I don't suspect it will break. I admit the wall is thin, not thick like a ceramic mug, but it is no thinner than any other drinking glass! The bottom comes with a silicone padding which prevents the glass from getting smashed when you put it down. This padding is removable. I recommend you remove all silicone when washing this mug because it gets tea stained easily.

Overall I definitely recommend this mug for an easy to use all-in-one tea system. I got the 12oz capacity cup but I admit it is a bit small and would recommend 16 oz so you don't have to constantly refill it.

Disclaimer: I received this Emoi cup at a discount in exchange for my review and I have taken into the full price of this item when I wrote my review. I give this product 4 stars because I think the full price cost a bit too much, maybe if it were $5 cheaper then I would give it 5 stars.

Update: I am upping my review to 5 stars because of how much I love this cup. I seriously use it EVERYDAY! I use this to brew both hot and iced tea. The cup is really great for iced tea, just put double the amount of tea leaves and fill with water to 3/4 capacity. Once brewed, pour into a bigger glass with ice and simple syrup. Yum! It's such an easy brewer to use and clean, worth the extra $5.

This is a wonderful tea maker.  Put loose-leaf tea in the maker, add water, and set the timer. In 2-5 minutes, place it directly on the cup. The tea filters into the cup while the tea leaves stay in the maker! Perfect tea every time!

This item is amazing!!! The product came wrapped and packaged neatly. Upon opening this item I realized how well made it was! I love that all of the pieces are easily removable. The container also has nonslip material that covers the entire container so that it is easier to hold. I can insert from tea bags, coffee or fruit to water and fruit or vegetables infuse my drink of choice. The container kept my hot drinks hot and my cold drinks cold. I also love how easily this item can be cleaned. I did not have to do anything other than put a little soap and water in the container, screw on the lid, shake the container, pour the soapy water out and then rinse it out. I truly would recommend this item to anyone that is always on the go all the way to the individuals that want to enjoy an infused tea or other beverage while sitting in their home. The information provided is my personal opinion. I was given this product at a reduced amount in exchange for my honest review.

I have been using this tea infuser every day for almost a month and recommend it highly. Easy to use and clean. A definite must have for tea drinkers!

These things are awesome! There's a slit in the lid for your tea bag to hang onto while your tea steeps. After that you grab the tea bag out of your cup with the tea buddy and squeeze the bag without burning your fingers off!
Amazing and perfect for any tea lover. Trust me.

The Samata Life Tea and Fruit Infuser is AMAZING!!  The tea infuser is 100% spill proof.  I am always spilling my hot beverages on the go and this is honestly the best on the go drink container I have ever had.  I love the way it looks and the way it's designed. I would recommend it to anyone looking to purchase a beverage, on-the-go container.  I absolutely love this tea infuser!

These are amazing! Fantastic for all kinds of teas except for powders. The only tea I've had a problem with is rooibos, but even then it's just a few pieces that escape. I love the little silicone dish it comes with...prevents tea from getting on my counter. Parts fit together snugly, but are still easy to separate. Easy to clean and the metal part doesn't rust even after leaving it in water for several days. I always hand wash mine so I don't know how it would hold up in the dishwasher.

Great item. Tall enough to get out of tea cup without having to put fingers in hot tea cup. Very easy to put loose tea in. Assisted me with being able to enjoy tea much better. Due to stroke on right side this makes it so much easier to have more independence. Thank-you very much for having this product.

I really don't know how I have been brewing tea for so many years without this Tea Tribe in cup Tea Infuser.  It is much more convenient and does such a great job.  I  have used at least 12 different gadgets through the years and always had some sort of negative issue with them.  I have finally found the last infuser I will ever need.  No more errant leaves or spilled attempting to fill a small device for tea.  Great design and product Tea Tribe!

I love this product. It is the perfect size. From the grippy insulated removable bottom to the easily cleaned and easily removable, metal infuser... it does not let any tea leaves escape to ruin your loose leaf tea drinking experience. It is great that the lid doubles as a coaster, I cannot say enough good about how much I love this tea infuser mug.  I  love that it is clear glass and that it has a large handle. The cute leaf design provides added appeal to my yummy cup of tea any time of day. If you like drinking loose leaf tea, you would love this product. It would make a great gift for any tea drinker. In my opinion this product would be a great thing to buy that person who seemingly has everything, or is hard to buy for. When you are in a pinch for a quick, cute and practical gift to give, this would be a great thing to keep on hand. I am going to buy a few just for that purpose.
