Sweese Porcelain Tea Mug with Infuser and Lid

The infuser works exceptionally well—it has fine mesh that prevents even small loose leaf particles from escaping into your tea. Multiple users specifically praised how 'no leaves escape' even with fine teas. The infuser is also notably deep and roomy, which allows your tea leaves to bloom properly rather than being cramped.

This mug excels at heat retention. The porcelain construction combined with the lid keeps tea warm for extended periods—users report their tea staying hot throughout long work sessions. Fair warning though: the cup body itself gets extremely hot to the touch, so you'll want to hold it by the handle only.

The handle is genuinely large and ergonomic—big enough to fit all four fingers comfortably. That said, there's a design quirk to be aware of: some users found their fingers still touched the hot cup body when holding it. The handle is comfortable in size, but the proximity to the heated porcelain can be an issue if you have larger hands.

The lid serves a clever dual purpose as both a cover while steeping and a coaster/trivet for the infuser after you remove it. However, it fits somewhat loosely and can slide around rather than sitting securely. It's functional and practical for its intended uses, just don't expect a tight, sealed fit.

It's built from high-quality porcelain with lead-free glaze and stainless steel infuser components, so it's definitely intended for regular use. It's dishwasher safe and users report the materials holding up well. That said, it is porcelain—a few buyers received units with chips or damage, and some noted it feels somewhat fragile. Treat it with reasonable care and it should serve you well for daily tea sessions.

Absolutely. This is an ideal beginner setup because everything you need is integrated into one piece—no separate teapot, no extra infuser to buy. It works with both loose leaf and tea bags, cleanup is straightforward, and you can watch your tea steep through the porcelain. The generous 15 oz capacity also means you get a proper mug-sized serving, not a tiny teacup portion.
