Sacred Lotus Love Double-Walled Glass Tea Infuser Bottle 14oz Portable Travel Mug with Strainer and Sleeve for Loose Leaf Tea, Coffee, Smoothies - Insulated Tumbler with Lid for Hot and Iced Beverages

Update: 11/13/2017This review still stands and this product is still going strong. Excellent quality________________________________________________________________________________________________I've had the sacred tea tumbler for a few days now and I feel it's high time for a detailed (and lengthy) review. If you want a quick and simple recommendation, then yes, I highly recommend this product. But if you want a bit more detail about it, then read on.First Impression:The packaging alone is on another level. Simply put, it screams quality. There’s an almost obsessive attention to detail on the box. Bold fonts and lettering that invites you to search for and read every single message on the packaging. What I’m saying here folks is that one look at the packaging is enough to convince you that the product was designed with a lot of thought and care.Something else that really caught my attention are the included extras in the packaging. Extras, you ask? It’s not enough that the tea tumbler is so elegantly package, nope! The designers even included a small but very warm welcome note, a lovely little poem and a thank-you booklet. Now to some, this might seem like a meaningless gesture, but you know what? It’s the little things.It’s a note that made me smile and say, “This is a company that truly cares about its product and customers”. I considered uploading a few pictures of the booklet and poem, but decided against it in the end. Rather not spoil the “surprise”. And, speaking of customer service, I found them incredibly friendly and quick to respond. Thumbs up to Peter and Carmen!The Tea Tumbler:Now this is where the real fun begins. Take the actual product out of the box and you’re greeted with what’s in my opinion the most beautiful and elegantly designed glass tea tumbler out there right now. Once again, the attention to detail on it borders on obsessive. It’s beautiful without being too “loud”. It’s artistically detailed without being garish. I found it sleek, classy and believe without a doubt that this product was designed by people with a lot of care and dedication.The tea tumbler itself is made of glass but it seems durable and strong. Naturally, a hard knock on a tough surface will destroy it (one of the included cards in the packaging tells you as much about caring for the glass).I’m also happy to report that it functions as promised and it’s quite easy to use. No complications or complex parts to assemble or disassemble, just a simple process to get your brew going. There are instructions included to help you get started, but rest assured, it’s straightforward and painless.Note, the tumbler is insulated (double walled glass). Once you have your hot tea brewing, the glass will get warm, but not uncomfortably so. Just warm enough for you to go, “Yeah! It’s on baby!”.Conclusion:No regrets! This is a beautiful product. It’s also high quality. Buy it if you love tea or heck, buy it and have it on display on a table. It’s really that beautiful. I have no qualms about supporting a company that cares about its products and treats their customers with care. That’s how you do customer service.Also, I wish the company also sold a dedicated padded sleeve for it to help minimize the possibility of accidental bumping for those moments when we’re moving about. I’m fully aware that there are third party options like neoprene sleeves out there, but I’d prefer something designed by sacred Lotus love instead solely because of their insane attention to detail and beautiful designs.Hope you enjoyed reading this review. I’ll post an update in the future, but until then, thanks for reading.

Nice design and good quality that includes an insolation carrying bag with a carrying wrist loop.

Absolutely love this diffuse. Very well made and the print hasn't faded or chipped at all. The pieces are all strong and fit together perfectly. Made me take tea with me to go way more often having such a beautiful piece. I got three friends to order their own. Love it.

Update June 13th, 2019: still great, 0 problems; love it!-------------------------------I was a little worried about the performance of this product based on the negative reviews. However, I can say that so far it works well for a glass tumbler.This product arrived very carefully packaged and with no defects. It's quite beautiful. In the first use it leaked from the bottom, but once I adjusted the cap on the bottom I've not removed it since and have no more leaks. The sleeve is great for extra protection when carrying it places. I don't carry it by the handle since one reviewer mentioned that it's not very secure. I take good care not to shock the tumbler with great fluctuations in temperature and so far I've had no problems.Some people have complained about how fragile theirs is/was, but you have to keep in mind that a product made from glass is going to take some extra care. It's the price you pay for something beautiful. If it were made out of something more resilient, such as Pyrex, it would be much heavier and I imagine lack the delicate nature that makes using a tumbler like this one such a pleasant experience. For a glass tumbler, I believe it is of great quality. I've ordered a glass tumbler before from a different supplier -- the first time it arrived with a defective crack and then immediately broke, then the replacement arrived broken, and then finally I enjoyed the third one until a few months later when I accidentally dropped it. It was one of those models with a bamboo lid on top, which always leaked. This model is far better, and even more beautiful.If I ever accidentally break it, I will buy another one from this seller because it's worth it.

I love it except that it has the tendency to leak. I don't know why it does, but it is a regular occurrence whenever I am making my tea. I make sure the lids are tight, so maybe it has to do with the silicone seals. My husband uses one from another company, and there is absolutely no problem.

Deep steeping basket with tons of tiny-tiny holes. Very well made, great size for special brews. I LOVE THIS!!!

Two days after the return window closed I found this vessel to be leaking from both ends. When I went online I saw there was another manufacturer who sold same item for half the price under another name. This is NOT a bamboo lid as advertised. I really didn’t care about that except for it leaking. I only used it two times since I purchased it and didn’t notice the leak until now. I thought paying almost $50 for superior quality would avoid such a problem. Disappointed!
