Review on Hario Olive Green 750ml Cold Brew Tea Bottle by Tamara Pyle

First of all I love this bottle. It's a great size for me and the removable silicone top makes it easy to wash. It's attractive. The silicone is reliable and fits the bottle snugly. I don't even use a filter, but that's a bonus for you if you want. At first I got this green bottle as a gift and I liked it so much that I bought another red one. Why not five stars? When I received my second (red) bottle, the silicone smelled. It wasn't exactly the strong chemical smell you would expect from a factory product. It was kind of a strong astringent smell with sweetness. It was strange. BUT it eventually passed. I wiped it off I ran it through the dishwasher. i cooked it However, I feel like over time (maybe four weeks or so) it just aired on its own.
