Tea lovers rejoice! Cherry Blossom is a beautifully crafted Kati infuser tumbler from Tea Forte, designed for steeping and storing your own loose leaf teas. We love that it includes an innovative infuser basket made from finely meshed stainless steel, making it so much more practical than other tea tumblers you'll find. Steeping tea is simple: just place loose leaves in the basket and add hot water (follow the tea's recommended steeping guidelines to ensure the optimum brew). The strainer will ensure you get the best of those flavors and health-giving antioxidants from the leaves. The cup itself is made from double-enforced ceramic walls, which retain the heat of your drink - you can use it to store coffee and hot chocolate as well as tea - so you can sit back and enjoy a soothing 12 oz cup, stress-free! What's more, with its beautifully ornate Cherry Blossom design, and perfect holding size, it makes a great gift for that special someone. Our Cherry Blossom Kati Infuser Tumbler was created by Tea Forte. The company began in Massachusetts in 2003, with a highly stylized product line based on traditional Japanese tea drinking ceremonies, intended to "elevate a cup of tea into an extraordinary experience for all your senses." Today, they present an unparalleled variety of handcrafted teas and tea accessories with sumptuously decorated packaging. Enjoyed in over 35 countries, their products can be found in the most prestigious restaurants, hotels, resorts and luxury retailers, making them ultimate ambassadors of the tea-drinking experience. NOTE: Do not place infuser basket in dishwasher or microwave. However, ceramic cup and lid are safe for dishwasher and microwave use.
