The Best Tea Infuser Travel Mug (And Why Real Tea Lovers Need One)

I can hear my better half, Steve, now: “Do you really need a dedicated travel tea mug? Can’t you brew a cup of tea and then use any ol’ travel mug to take it on the go?”

Yeah, babe, you could. (And he probably knows what’s coming next.) But I like to have the right tool for the job, and there is good reason to be particular when it comes to a travel tea mug.

Sure, I could place loose tea leaves in a single-use paper steeper or basket steeper and use my favorite travel coffee mug for the job , but travel tea mugs are made with built-in tea steepers (ones that allow you to tightly close the lid while your tea steeps), which means no waste and a hotter finished brew. Plus, coffee mugs tend to take on coffee flavor over time. A dedicated travel tea mug helps keeps a serious tea drinker’s tea tasting pure and clean.

In my quest for the best travel mug to take my cuppa on the road, I sought out a leak-proof model that ranked high in the heat retention department . I also wanted a mug that was easy to grip and to drink from. And because it’s nice to have stylish gear, one that looked good, too. Here are my winning picks and how I tested:

The Very Best Tea Infuser Travel Mug: The Tea Spot Everest Tea Tumbler

The Everest’s double-walled, vacuum-sealed stainless steel insulation kept 22 ounces of tea hot and fresh tasting, and its screw down BPA-free top was terrifically leak-proof. I fell hard for its rugged adventure-meets-urban-chic look, and had a hard time deciding which of its four stylish colors I liked best.

The Everest also won my vote for smart design and functionality with an innovative screw-top and sipping mechanism that stay connected to the mug while you drink (which means when you remove the part of the lid that allows you to drink your tea, it won’t go tumbling down a cliff, through a subway grate, or down between that impossibly narrow space between the seat of your car and your cup-holding console).

The stainless steel steeper basket on this model provided ample room for water and tea leaves to mingle as my tea steeped, and its small holes kept fine leaves from passing into my tea, making a clean and full-tasting brew. The easy to grip exterior is much like that of the popular Hydro Flask water bottle so, if you’re a Hydro Flask fan , you’ll likely love The Tea Spot Everest, too.

The Everest fit well in a tote bag and was also comfortable to carry on the outside of a backpack, using a carabiner clip . And, like all of the travel tea mugs I tested, it can be used for iced tea as well as plain or infused fruit (aka spa) water.

The Next Best (aka Runner Up) Travel Tea Infuser Mug: The Tea Spot Voyager Tea Tumbler

The Voyager, also by The Tea Spot, won my runner-up vote. At 16-ounces, it’s a smaller mug than the Everest but that’s where most of the differences end. This mug kept my tea hot and fresh for 6 hours, and is fitted with the same type of high quality stainless steel steeper basket as the Everest. Its smartly designed leak-proof lid has a comfortable, easy to drink from sip-cup style and doesn’t require removing to use—simply press down on a pop top to drink, then press it again to lock the top into spill-free mode. With its sleek metallic, glossy finish and no loop handle (for carabiner or finger hold), this model is stylistically more ‘urban’ than ‘adventure’, but also, according to highly-rated reviews for both products, a bit more vulnerable to scratches than the Everest. It’s easy to grip and carries well in a tote bag or pocket of a backpack or gym bag.

Other Brands I Tried:

Zojirushi travel mug with tea filter shocked me and my editor when this mug didn’t win over my other contenders. Though this darling brand of the product review world took the gold in our best travel coffee mug test and kept my tea even hotter than its competitors at 6 hours, it is designed with a problematic steeping mechanism. To use this mug, you place loose tea leaves inside and add hot water. A filter fitted at the top of the mug blocks the leaves from flowing out while you drink your tea, but, as any true tea drinker knows, for however long you travel with your tea, the tea continues steeping. So, whether we’re talking a few minutes post-ideal steep time or several hours, you’ll be drinking an over-steeped brew (not tasty!). (One reviewer on Amazon noted that tea leaves can be put into the strainer basket, steeped with the mug turned upside down, and then removed. But the basket is so small that, though this works with some tea leaf types, it allows neither ample space for leaves to mingle with water while steeping, nor enough room for large loose tea leaf varieties to steep.) The top, which is made up of multiple and functionally unclear parts (a pain to both wash and keep track of), must be entirely removed to drink the tea, which makes it awkward if not impossible to safely drink from on the go. Used as a canteen-style tea-steeping vessel (to pour tea from as soon as it’s steeped) or to keep tea that’s brewed in a bag or independently from and then transferred to the mug incredibly hot for over 6 hours, this is a great product, but as an on-the-go tea mug, it doesn’t cut the mustard.

The four remaining models I tested, the Uendure Glass Infuser Travel Mug , the Lotus Glass Tea Tumbler , the Pure Zen Tea Tumbler , and the Sacred Lotus Love Sacred Glass Tea Infuser Tumbler were constructed of glass and sell in the $25 to $28 range. None of them (even with easy-to-grip insulating neoprene sleeves complete with nifty loops for carrying) had heat retention capability that came anywhere close to that of my winning contenders, and, though they were sexy looking, they were too fragile for true on-the-go usage. (A note that came with one of the models warned that the glass “may break if you drop it, knock it, or bang it with a metal spoon”.) Their open top lids made for challenging drinking on the go. So, while these might be stylish for drinking at a desk (though you’ll have to watch your keyboard if the mug gets knocked over), they’re too fragile and not practical for real on the go use.

How I Tested

I brewed loose black tea in seven leading travel tea mugs. After brewing the tea, I removed the tea basket and took the temperature of each mug’s tea using a digital thermometer . I closed the lids tightly, then measured the temperature of each tea again after 1 hour, 4 hours, and 6 hours, recording the change in temperature at each interval.

In the breaks between temperature takes, I rolled my tightly closed filled travel tea mugs on the floor; turned them upside down, and gave them all a good shaking around to test for leaks. I took a look at how many parts came with each model and how easy they were to clean. I also considered sipping mechanism design, steeper basket quality (did the basket allow ample room for proper steeping), overall durability, and style.

The Takeaway:

The company Tea Spot makes the best tea infuser travel mugs—models that brew a great cup of tea and are easy to take on the go. Buy the Everest Tumbler for slightly larger capacity and a more rugged, outdoor-adventure-ready design. Buy the Voyager for a smaller travel tea mug that's perfect for urban commuters.

The Best Tea Infuser Travel Mug (And Why Real Tea Lovers Need One) - Epicurious

In the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, we've tested over 15 tea infusers in a variety of forms in the last year alone. Our analysts have tried tea infuser mugs and tumblers , tea infuser teapots, electric tea kettles with infusers and standalone tea infusers in a variety of shapes and materials .

When we test tea infusers in our Lab, we brew tea the same way each time using the same ratio of water to tea leaves and steeping it for a controlled amount of time. We test for taste, how well the infuser strains out tea and sediment and how easy it is to fill, empty and clean. We also recruited over 15 consumer testers to put tea infusers to the test in their daily lives with their favorite loose-leaf tea. Our top tea infusers brewed up a balanced and flavorful cup of tea without leaving behind tea leaves and sediment.

OXO Brew Tea Infuser Basket is easy to use and easy to clean, and it performed well in our Lab's testing process. I t produced a very flavorful and balanced cup of English Breakfast te a , but we did notice that there was some sediment lingering in the cup afterward. We love that this basket infuser allows for tea leaves to easily move freely and expand while steeping, instead of being compressed inside of a small infuser. One consumer tester said, "In comparison to a ball, I liked that this gave the leaves more space, especially the flowers. This made for a cup of tea with a slightly more robust taste."

This tea infuser features a dual-function lid. Use it to cap the infuser while it's steeping and then as a resting place for your infuser after it's steeped. Silicone was thoughtfully added to high-touch places so that they remain cool to the touch, and all pieces are dishwasher-safe.

The Tuffy Steeper from The Tea Spot is an affordable, compact and durable silicone tea infuser. It comes in four different colors and its lid doubles as a saucer to rest the infuser after steeping. In our Lab testing, we found this infuser was very easy to fill and clean. It produced a cup of tea that was full of flavor , with some lingering astringency, but we did notice some sediment at the bottom of our cup. "I like that it collapses for compact storage and toting," said a consumer tester. "I liked the clever design: The handle for lifting your steeper out of your tea also served as a way to hold the lid in place during travel. And the lid doubles as a drip tray." Another consumer tester did notice that when the tea infuser is resting in a mug, it can be hard to see how much water the mug contains.

A GH Tea Award-winner , this DavidsTea Nordic Mug brewed up a great-tasting cup of tea with its included infuser. The tea was balanced in flavor with barely any sediment at the bottom of the mug . We also appreciated the design of the double-walled glass with an easy-to-grip handle and lid that doubled as a place to rest the tea infuser after steeping. A consumer tester enjoyed that she could watch the dried flowers in her loose-leaf tea bloom by peering through the mug's glass lid. The glass pieces are dishwasher-safe, but the tea infuser requires hand washing. The stainless steel infuser was still easy to clean since tea leaves and sediment didn't linger inside the small holes.

Though it's the most expensive tea infuser on this list, the Tea Maker from Breville has plenty of bells and whistles that make it the ultimate tea-infusing appliance. This electric tea kettle brews your tea at the temperature of your choice, and it features five pre-programmed settings for black, green, herbal, oolong and white tea so your tea steeps at the ideal temperature to bring out the subtleties of the leaves. The built-in timer controls the steep time, plus it allows the user to adjust between mild, medium and strong brews. It features a large removable tea infuser basket that automatically lowers and retracts based on the programmed time to prevent over-steeping .

This teapot from The Tea Spot can hold up to 34 ounces of tea which is about three to four teacups. This stoneware teapot features a satin finish, a stainless steel handle and a large stainless steel basket infuser. In our Lab testing, we appreciated that the stainless steel infuser has very fine holes that strained out tea leaves and sediment well and produced a delicious cup of English breakfast tea that wasn't astringent. There aren't many things we found at fault with this teapot, but one consumer tester stated, "I wish you could heat it on the stove rather than have to boil water separately and pour it in, it adds an extra step."

While you can certainly brighten someone's day with a cup of tea, a Genuine Fred ManaTea infuser can make the gesture even more adorable. This cute silicone tea infuser peers over your mug while it steeps your tea. In our Lab testing, we found that some big tea leaves came out of the infuser, but no sediment escaped. It brewed a very clean-tasting cup of tea. While this infuser is a little harder to clean by hand because of its nooks and crannies, you can simply empty it and place it in the dishwasher.

This GH Tea Award -winning tea-infusing travel mug from Fire Belly is designed to brew loose leaves right in the bottle without an additional infuser attachment — and you simply push down on the plunger insert to stop the infusion. The insert also doubles as an ice holder. In our Lab tests, we liked the markings on the inside of the cup that suggested how far we should fill it for hot and cold tea. It is slim and comfortable to hold and didn’t leak in our tests. It also brewed a smooth and delicious cup of tea.

Our consumer testers enjoyed using this as well. One consumer tester noted, "I did use this item on the go. Once the tea was ready, I was able to put the cap on and take it with me. It kept my tea hot for a very long time." Take note that this mug should be hand-washed and that it has a pretty narrow interior, requiring a bottle brush for thorough cleaning.

While a little different from a traditional tea infuser, a tea steeper is a great alternative for sediment-free tea. Simply fill the steeper with loose-leaf tea and hot water, then let it steep. Once you're done steeping, place it on top of your desired mug and press down to release the tea. In our Lab testing, we found this model from DavidsTea was easy to use and great for making one cup of tea at a time, rather than a whole pot. I t produced a cup of English Breakfast tea that was completely clear or sediment or tea leaves — and it tasted earthy and complex. This steeper is not dishwasher-safe, and it requires extra care when cleaning it because of the nooks and crannies in the bottom of the steeper where tea leaves can get stuck. It's also larger than most infusers and requires more room for storage.

How we test tea infusers

In the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, we've tested more than 15 tea infusers in the last year alone. This includes tea infuser mugs and tumblers, tea infuser teapots, electric tea kettles with infusers and standalone tea infusers in a variety of shapes and materials.

When we test tea infusers in our Lab, we brew the same proportion of loose-leaf English Breakfast tea and filtered water for a controlled amount of time. We taste-test each freshly brewed tea for flavor, astringency and bitterness. Then each brewed tea goes through a fine mesh strainer to see how well each infuser strains out tea leaves and sediment. We also evaluate how easy each tea infuser is to fill, empty and clean.

In our recent side-by-side testing, we also recruited over 15 consumer testers to put tea infusers to the test in their daily life with their favorite loose-leaf teas.

What to look for when buying the best tea infuser

✔️ Type: Tea infusers come in a variety of different types, which are all designed for loose-leaf tea, but some have different benefits.

• Basket infusers like our best overall tea infuser from OXO , make up the majority of this list because they perform well, are easy to fill and clean and allow for tea leaves and dried flowers to open up fully, producing a flavorful tea.
• Floating infusers like the Genuine Fred MANATEA , often provide less space for tea leaves to fully open up and are harder to fill and clean. They usually have a cute design or are in tea ball format and tend to be more compact.
• Steepers like this model from DavidsTea , allow for tea leaves to fully expand and freely move through the water. They can often contain the leaves and sediment better than their tea infuser counterparts. They usually require more storage space though.

✔️ Material: There are a few different materials that tea infusers are constructed with like stainless steel, silicone, plastic and glass.

• Stainless steel tea infusers are the most common and come in a variety of different shapes and sizes. Some have very fine holes for filtering out leaves and sediment, and they retain heat well, which means they can get very hot to the touch after steeping tea for a while.
• Silicone models usually cannot have holes as fine as stainless steel models which may lead to some escaped sediment, but they stay cooler to the touch and are easy to clean.
• Plastic options are less common, except for steeper models which are primarily made out of plastic. They allow you to observe the tea leaves or dried flowers as they open and bloom while steeping.
• Glass infusers are fragile and also less common, but offer the same transparency benefits as plastic models.

✔️ Tea infuser holder: It's convenient when tea infusers come with lids that also double as holders for after your tea is steeped. Lids help ensure heat remains inside your cup and that aromatic compounds of your loose-leaf are captured as well. And as an infuser holder, they ensure you don't have a mess on your hands after you're done infusing.

✔️ Ease of cleaning: Some tea infusers can be a pain to clean. If this is a concern for you, look for an infuser that's dishwasher-safe for the easiest cleanup or one without super-fine holes that can trap leaves.

What does a tea infuser do?

A tea infuser holds tea leaves and dried herbs and flowers and is used to brew up a cup of hot tea. Tea infusers are used to ensure that you don't consume tea leaves while drinking your cup of tea — they strain out tea leaves and sediment for a smooth and delicious cup of tea.

One would choose to use an infuser over a tea bag because it broadens the variety of tea they can enjoy. Fresher tea and bigger, whole tea leaves with better saturation — both leading to a fresher, more flavorful cup.

How do you use a tea infuser?

• Consult your loose-leaf tea packaging. It should tell you the recommended proportion of tea to water, the temperature of the water and the amount of time for steeping.
• Measure out the recommended amount of loose-leaf tea and fill your tea infuser.
• Place the tea infuser in the mug of your choice.
• Pour the recommended temperature of hot water over the tea infuser so the contents are thoroughly saturated.
• Set a timer to the recommended time so that you don't over-steep your tea, which could make it bitter.
• Remove the tea infuser from your cup of tea and enjoy.

Can you use a tea bag in a tea infuser?

While you can use a tea bag in a tea infuser, there isn't a need to do so. Tea bags already strain your tea, and if you were to put a tea bag inside of a tea infuser, you would be double straining it, and it might lose a bit of its flavor by doing so.

"The grip is comfortable, and the twist-off lid is extremely tight. It hasn’t ever spilled, even when jostled in my tote bag. There are small sip holes around the perimeter of the top of the infuser so you can drink from any angle, all while the flow of liquid is slow and controlled. Finally, because of the stainless-steel insulation, it stays at temperature for hours."

How do I make tea in the Stop-Infusion Travel Mug?

It's simple. Here's what to do:

• Remove the tea press.
• Add your loose leaf tea – 1 tbsp. for hot tea, or 2 tbsp. for iced.
• Add hot water to the lower fill line for iced tea, or the upper fill line for hot tea.
• When your tea has steeped, push the tea press all the way down to stop infusion. You can do this anywhere!
• If you want iced tea, add ice to the chamber of the press before pushing down.

Is the Stop-Infusion Travel Mug made of safe materials?

We believe in quality first, and that goes for the materials we use. The travel mug itself is constructed from medical-grade stainless steel. The tea press is made using Eastman Tritan™ which is BPA and Bisphenol-free.

What makes the Stop-Infusion Travel Mug so special?

Ever tried to steep tea on the go in a regular travel mug? Scooping out a tea bag or straining tea leaves is a hassle and makes a mess. We're not about that, and we bet you don't love it either.

With a simple push down on the tea press, you can stop the infusion of your tea. That means perfect flavor, never oversteeped.

Another innovation – because why stop at one – is the ability to add ice to the press for iced tea. Game-changer.

We also added stratgeic holes along the upper perimeter of the press to control the flow of liquid. So whether it's a sudden stop or trying to get those last few sips, you won't get splashed in the face.

Add in premium materials, double-walled insulation, and big style points, and this travel mug just might become your most prized possession.

What's the deal with your Money-Back Guarantee?

We take the risk out of your purchase. Try out our Stop-Infusion Travel Mug, and if you don't love it, get in touch with our team within 30 days. We'll help you solve any issues or questions you're experiencing, or we'll refund you.

When can I expect my order?
