Review on 🎨 Vibrant TANG PIN Painted Moonlight Ceramic: Unleash Your Creativity! by Brian Diaz

Comes in an incredibly well packed box with foam and plastic wrap to keep the pieces from rolling around in the box or bumping into each other. The entire mug and wooden handle extension, as well as the lid and most of the brewer are made of durable ceramic. I don't feel like I'm going to break any part of it just by holding it in my hands and while it's always a bit annoying to hear ceramic on ceramic during assembly, there weren't any chips, cracks, etc or other damage. The glaze work is absolutely fine and well covered, with only one spot where it has thickened a bit on the top of the lid, making the pattern on the clay a little less noticeable. The modeling texture on the outside of the cup and lid is clean and beautiful, with no uncomfortable or rough spots when you run your hands over them. The metal sieve in the brewer is thin enough that no tea leaves slip into it. Cup. The sieve is only at the bottom of the brew group. This will not affect the soaking process, but does mean it will take some time for the liquid to go through. If you push the infusion into a very full mug, water will run down the sides of the infusion between it and the mug as the water is pushed out faster than it can flow through the strainer holes. So slowly lower into the water or pour the water over the leaves in the brewer. It is very easy to clean and I have successfully run the brewer in the dishwasher with no difficulty or damage. A full mug is supposedly dishwasher safe, but the wooden handle worries me. The coating on the wood looks like it will probably hold it, but the point where the mug and handle meet has a small gap that I'm concerned about water trapping and possibly getting moldy. The lid serves as a drip catcher and fulcrum. for the tea strainer when your tea has finished brewing. All parts of the ceramic become very hot when the drink inside is still very hot. The wooden handle doesn't change the temperature at all, but the point where the ceramic meets the wood changes the heat, so it's important to be careful when handling the mug after it's been filled or while it's warm. As in the previous paragraph, condensate from the steam from the boiling water will collect on the lid. When removing, be careful not to let the cover roll down on you. It's easy to avoid, but it's nothing to think about until it happens. I have big hands as you can see in the last two pictures. In this case the handle is a three finger handle and as the ceramic cools I find it convenient to wrap my ring finger (pointer) around the handle where it connects to the mug. Drip eliminator cools the drink about as quickly as an open mug. If you need to take the infusion to another location, close the lid to keep the drink warm for about an additional hour. Don't expect the level of the thermos to keep you warm, as the ceramic dissipates heat over time even when covered, but you won't be exposing your drink to fresh air and it'll cool down quicker. Full Disclosure I'm trying this product out for a seller, but it doesn't affect my rating. I gave my honest review of the product as a frequent tea drinker and the owner of a large number of things to drink. :) At the same time, my communication with the seller was very pleasant! They were very polite and helpful throughout the ordeal. tl; Doctor: It's a great mug with a good brewer that doesn't leave a few leaves in your tea. Ceramic heats up when it comes into contact with hot water. Be careful. Dishwasher safe, but be careful not to allow water to collect between the ceramic and the wood of the handle. The brewer displaces water faster than it can pass through the mesh filter holes. Gently lower it when the mug is full, or fill the mug already with the brewer inside. In fact, all of my "cons" are either picky or cautionary to those unfamiliar with how heat penetrates ceramics.
