FORLIFE Uni Brew-in-Mug with Tea Infuser and Lid, 16-Ounce, Carrot
D**.
Huge infuser basket, beautifully made, well worth the price! Buy it even if you don't want the infuser; it's that good.
This mug is amazing! I have had just about every type of mug ever created (my cupboards are groaning) and so far I love this one the best. It was well worth the $22 I spent.Pros:*It's big, holds the largest brew on my Keurig with lots of space for creamer. See the photo, I put a standard mug next to it (on the left) for size comparison. The infuser basket is on the right.*It also has the largest tea infuser basket I have ever seen packaged with a mug. The volume of the infuser basket is (educated guess) about half that of the whole mug. It's too bad they don't post a photo of that in the main listing, because it's extraordinary!*The mesh on the infuser basket is very fine, even loose leaf tea that's powdery will be adequately strained.*It's lovely. The mug is well made. Beautifully colored on the outside and white on the inside. A quality piece of dishware. It's smooth all over and does not seem likely to stain or be hard to clean. I would not hesitate to put anything in it for fear of it retaining any smell (garlicky soup, coffee, tea, scrambled eggs, etc)*It has a lid. The lid fits well (not snugly, it's not for travel) and has a ridge that helps keep the condensation from leaking out onto your desk when you remove it and lay it down upside down. This also will serve to catch the drips from the infuser basket. My guess on the volume of the drip-catching area is about 1.5 oz. NOTE: I thought the lid was going to be a silicone-type material, but it's not. It's a harder plastic and more insulating than silicone. Plus, it does not get hot.*Everything is dishwasher-friendly*The parts that need to be microwave-friendly are (mug and lid.)Cons:*Price seems high. But it's easy to pay upwards of $20 for a mug with a funny saying or cartoon and you don't get a lid or infuser basket with that.The final word:I'm in love! This is my go-to mug. So long sitting at my desk sucking from insulated travel cups to keep my drink warm. I'm going to slowly replace many of my mugs with these (turquoise next time, then ivy green). I have it sitting on my new "Candle Warmers Etc." lighted candle warmer (coffee warmer), lid on, my green tea was brewed almost 30 minutes ago, and it is still almost too hot to drink - which is just the way I like it. I could not be happier with my purchase.Cheers!

Great tea brewing system.
I’m very impressed with this tea cup and its large infuser. I’ve used many infusers over the years. I’ve used the balls, the chain always fell into the cup. I’ve tried the spring loaded and slide models. Tea always go stuck in the mechanism. This system works. I can add as much tea as I what without any worries that the tea will expand so much that the infuser won’t work. It saves me money as I can use less tea and shorter brewing times, so the tea does not become bitter. Clean up is a snap. Just empty in to a garbage can and then rinse. It comes with a lid to keep the tea hot while brewing. I’m actually amazed how much a teaspoon of tea expands. Explains why other infusers didn’t brew a good cup of tea. I plan to buy another for the office and as Christmas presents. I recommend this to anyone who drinks loose leaf tea.

Not like the picture--color is far off
Although I have one of FORLIFE's mugs (bought at Whole Foods years ago and enjoyed--hence the 3 points), that mug is a clear bright color. The one I received was not like the pretty, clear, bright medium shade of blue in the picture. It was dull, darkened, dirty-looking blue-green. I was very disappointed. It's not an inexpensive cup, and I expected better.

Chuck your tea balls away
You will never have to suffer through an endless array of stray tea leaves again. This lovely (mine is turquoise -which is a close resemblance to "Tiffany Blue") mug is a gem. The infuser is finely constructed and fits nicely into the mug. The cover suits as a perfect receptacle to the infuser (after use) or as a cover to the mug while steeping. The only draw back, that I have yet to over come, is not being able to see how much water is in the mug whilst filling it - with infuser inside. I have twice over filled it ... which makes a bit of a mess and scalded finger tips.

My Personal Mug for Tea!
I love the size of this mug (about 2-3 cups worth) for my tea! The handle is cool and comfy to hold, and the mug can maintain the heat for a decent amount of time. The infuser is a wide enough for loose tea leaves to disperse around while the tiny filtering holes prevent sediment from floating into your drink. Easy to clean and solidly made! I'm so glad I found it on Amazon! :D

Don't like the plastic lid
Another great ForLife product with an excellent large infuser, perfect for oolong. I bought a couple different colors, but I wish it had a ceramic lid, like their smaller mug. I threw the plastic lids away and use a small saucer as a lid instead.

Sturdy And Convenient
GREAT quality. Wow. Super impressed. I never cared about the quality of mugs and got this just to steep lose leaf tea leaves in but wow. The mug is incredibly sturdy. I will never buy cheap mugs again lol.

Great tea accessory
Absolutely wonderful way to make a single cup of tea instead of a pot. Very study, quality unit, white so you can see the clarity of you tea.holds heat well. Great cup 'feel' and handle. Strainer and cover just perfect.
