Brilliant design and functionality!  What more can you ask for?  I do love a nice cup of brewed tea, from loose leaves and this cup makes for an easy 2-step brewing process. Tilt the cup one way for brewing [the leaves have their own little compartment], then tilt the other way to strain and drink.

The mug has been designed to fit into your hands. Tipcup has this in several plastic styles and Uncommon Goods offers it in the white and black plastic.
