ecooe Ceramic Tea Infuser Mug with Lid

Absolutely! At 600ml (20.3oz), this holds about 2-3 cups of tea, which is perfect for extended sipping at your desk or a leisurely morning. Several users specifically mention loving the large capacity - though a heads up: a few people found it larger than they expected when it arrived, so if you're looking for something petite, this might not be it.

Really well! Multiple reviewers praise both the quality and generous size of the stainless steel infuser. It's roomy enough to let loose leaves expand properly, which is key for getting good flavor extraction. The design makes it beginner-friendly too - you don't need any separate equipment or special knowledge, just add your leaves and pour hot water.

The lid does help with heat and aroma retention - reviewers mention it keeps their tea warm while steeping. However, be aware that a couple of users noted the tea doesn't stay piping hot for extended periods, so this isn't a substitute for a thermal mug if you need hours of heat retention. It's more about maintaining temperature during your active drinking time.

The ceramic interior can show some staining from repeated use with dark teas - one reviewer mentioned this happening over time. That said, it's a minor cosmetic issue that doesn't affect function, and it's pretty typical for ceramic tea mugs. Regular cleaning helps, but if you're brewing very dark teas daily, expect some patina to develop.

Here's something important: one reviewer specifically mentioned it gets very hot to touch when filled with hot liquid. The ceramic conducts heat well (which is great for brewing), but not so great for handling. You'll want to use the handle exclusively when it's full of hot tea, or let it cool a bit before wrapping your hands around the body of the mug.

Definitely! Multiple reviewers specifically bought this as a gift and mentioned the presentation and quality made it gift-worthy. The sleek black design looks elegant, and it comes with everything someone needs to start brewing loose leaf tea right away. It's particularly great for friends or family who want to get into loose leaf tea but don't have all the accessories yet.
