Sereni-Tea

If you are a tea-drinker who is often "on the go," or know one who IS, this cup is a definite must. I was given the 12-oz poly one as a gift about a year ago. It went everywhere with me, and stood up to a lot of abuse (e.g. being dropped on concrete A LOT, and being flung from the roof of the car onto concrete) and as long as you don't put the lid on right away the seal is so perfect you can put this in your purse or bag without spilling a drop! (Steam can loosen the gasket so the seal isn't right-- something to watch out for.) The only complaint I have is how difficult it is to clean this cup. I have such tiny hands that I buy ladies' extra-small gloves or get them from the kids' section, but it's still a painfully tight squeeze when I scrub out my tumbler-- and it definitely NEEDS scrubbing by hand, you can't really get away with a bottle brush because you'll see streaks of clean and dirty. Aside from that, though, this cup is perfect. Put your loose tea leaves in the bottom, screw the screen on, pour in your hot water, and in a minute or two you can put your cap on for a perfect seal. BEST TEA CUP EVER! <3
