From Forlife Design, this tall NewLeaf tea mug is designed with simplicity and functionality in mind.

A bit of history

Brewing in glass lets you watch the leaves unfurl and the color of the tea develop, which is part of the pleasure of loose-leaf tea. Borosilicate glass, which tolerates heat well, was developed in Germany by the glassmaker Otto Schott in the late 19th century.

Good to know

• The large stainless steel infuser with extra-fine mesh allows tea to expand fully for more flavor and fragrance.

• The lid doubles as a drip dish for the infuser.

How to use

Add loose-leaf tea to the infuser, pour hot water and cover. When the tea reaches your preferred strength, remove the infuser and rest it on the lid.
