Forest Trees Nordic Mug - David's Tea



Where to buy:  David’s Tea

Description:  DRINKING BY DESIGN

We think good design is a big part of great taste. Our favourite teas taste even better out of a good looking cup. Which is why we created this elegantly simple everyday mug. We wanted it to be clean, modern and sturdy. To hold a lot of tea without feeling clunky or oversized. And we like to think we nailed it. With a stainless steel infuser and a lid that doubles as a saucer, this one is all in good taste. 

Capacity:  473 ml/16oz

Dishwasher safe except for metal infuser.

My Review:

During my trip to David’s Tea, I saw this tea mug. Since I love huge cups of tea, this mug is the perfect size to satisfy my tea cravings. Since I loved it so much, my sister was nice enough to buy me one as my Christmas present (and she also bought one for herself).

The pattern on this mug is adorable. Rows of forest coloured trees circle the mug with 6 white trees on the light blue interior. This mug is a nice weight, not too heavy and not too light. It is taller than wide.  The infuser is perfect for any type of tea. It has itty bitty holes that don’t let much through (I have a Teavana -back when it was Teopia- infuser with mesh that is too large to brew rooibos, but I don’t have this problem with the infuser that comes with this mug). The lid really holds in heat and it makes a great saucer that you can place the infuser on, which keeps tea off of my counter!

This mug has quickly become one of my favourites (and I’ve only has it for a day!). The only negative thing that I can find to say about this mug is that the base if pretty narrow, and since I have quilted placemats on my kitchen table I have to do a delicate balancing act sometimes. On a flat surface this mug has no problems. This would make a great gift for the tea connoisseur in your life!

It also comes in red!
