People kept asking for it, so I found the manufacturer, and here we are!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI usually use it for one of two things:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Keeping hot water with me at all times, in a backpack or bag, and then using that water with my travel teapot set;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrinking “grandpa style” tea by , using the cup that also serves as a lid to pour myself tea through the filter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI also find it’s perfectly sized for one tea resin, and that’s my go-to plane tea. I bring the thermos in empty, get hot water after security at a machine or from a cafe, and drink the resin on the plane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThermos Specs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVolume: 500ml \/ 16.9 oz.\u003cbr\u003eCup size: 125ml \/ 4.2 oz.\u003cbr\u003eThermos Size: 23.5 x 6.9 cm \/ 9.1 x 2.72 inches\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: 316 Stainless Steel Interior\u003cbr\u003eColor: Super Classy JTH Green with White Teapot Logo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I control the steep time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot really, but I’m not upset about that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are lots of thermoses that allow you to control steep time by either tipping the tea area of the thermos upside-down, having a “push button” drop through area, or removing a filter by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI personally, though, find them to be bulky, finicky, and not enjoyable to use. I own some and I never use them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter trying many types of thermoses, I personally would either just bring a travel teapot with me and use a nice set for the tea and the thermos just for hot water storage, or just accept that I won’t be able to control the tea steep time, use a small amount of leaves and let them steep as long as I’m out and about, and just pick tea types that react well to over-steeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI think asking a thermos to make perfect tea and create a gongfu-style experience is just asking to be disappointed. It’s not there to be perfect, it’s there to let you either make gongfu tea the way you want with a second tea set, or to do a decent job of making pretty good tea while admitting it will oversteep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis thermos does both of those well. If you use it just for the hot water, the spring-loaded top makes pouring into gaiwans\/teapots super easy and safe. If you use it for grandpa-style tea, the built-in filter works perfectly every time even with small leaf tea, and the aluminum cup lid is a great size for small-to-medium size portions that makes teatime feel a bit more like gongfu tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso, eliminating all those extra parts makes these cheaper.
