Tea Forte Kati Cup Lotus: Ceramic Tea Infuser Cup with Basket and Lid for Steeping Loose Leaf Tea Review

Pros: KATI is a visually beautiful mug. The lid and the teapot fit perfectly and the tea stays warm for a long time, especially if you leave the lid closed. This is a heavy mug and it gets hot, but if you let it sit for a few minutes the outer casing will cool enough to touch. Cons: The weight and lack of a handle are both pros and cons of this mug. It is heavy and large enough that it may be difficult for the elderly or those with a lack of strength to pick it up and hold it. It keeps the tea…

I've had this mug for about two weeks now and I still love it. What's good: The teapot on the mug has the smallest holes I've ever had. In fact, they're so small my buddy won't roll into a cup - quite an achievement! The mug itself is very pretty and I love that the lid can be used to rest between cups of tea (I often use the leaves multiple times each morning). Not so good: Yes, ceramic gets VERY hot when you first pour boiling water in it. There's no handle, so you'll have to find a way to…

First, I should mention that although I ordered a lotus pattern mug, I got 5 stars for it The rating refers to Pisachio cups (plain green). If you are sensitive to texture, DO NOT order a lotus mug. I received the mug, took it out of the box and couldn't take it anymore. The white flowers are slightly raised and painted with some texture (rather than covered with a smooth glaze). I contacted the seller and they were very accommodating and apologized - and sent me a replacement pistachio cup…

The cup is more beautiful live. It is a beautiful and calming sea green. It measures 5 inches high and 3.5 inches wide at the opening and holds 12 ounces. Advantages: 1. The very fine mesh brewer contains even the smallest pieces of tea leaves. Only a fine powder, if any, remained in my cup. 2. The cup never gets too hot and I use very hot water.3. The lid, which also holds the tea strainer perfectly, has a lip on the inside to keep it on the cup. Some people have said that the lid comes off…

I like to start the morning with a few cups of hot tea. I prefer loose leaf teas where I can mix teas and add spices to my heart's content. Originally thought of as 700ml+ kettles, but our kitchens are tight on space and kettles can be awkward to clean. Then I came across this mug. I find joy in things that are well thought out and pleasing to the eye. This trophy is the winner in both categories. When not in use, it doesn't take up much space in the closet. The filter basket works very well…
