Tea on the go

Ok, how great is this? It's a travel mug with a basket designed to hold loose leaf tea! There is even a little lever to pull the basket up when you're done brewing so your tea doesn't get too astringent.



I picked up my mug this weekend when shopping with my Crate and Barrel gift card. I almost missed it because I just assumed it was the usual insulated travel mug until Austin pointed out its amazing features. I'm not such a tea snob that I don't use tea in bags- I have them stashed in my purse, backpack, and desk at work- but some of my favorite tea does come only in loose leaf and now I'll be able to enjoy it on the go. Ah, the small things in life...
