Teacup 16 oz (Black)

I like the creative approach to brewing tea and it does work. The only drawback is the ceramic gets really hot so it's a challenge to hold it in the beginning. It does make great tea.

This is the perfect tea cup. I've owned many. All the others have multiple parts that are just a hassle to take apart, clean out, wash, and put back together. Or worse, you have a tea kettle and now you have to wash both a kettle and cup. This teacup is a single piece, easy to empty loose tea leaves, and then just throw the whole thing into the dishwasher or rinse under a faucet.The only design flaw is that it lacks a handle. Sure, it would take away from the aesthetic of it, but it gets hot fast. So if you're like me, you pour the hot water in from the kitchen and then have to carry this steaming cup to your home office, you better run fast!Still, I think it's worth it but hope the manufacturer will add a handle in its next version.(I bought this cup direct from the manufacturer so this review won't have the Verified Purchase tag but I've included a pic)
