About Black Tea: Black tea is the most intensively processed type of tea. The leaves are allowed to fully oxidize, creating their black color before they are dried, giving black tea more complexity, more astringency and fewer vegetal overtones than are typically found in other teas. Astringency is the "dry mouth" sensation left by tannins in tea, familiar to drinkers of a cabernet sauvignon, or other wine. It is this astringency that pairs so nicely with dairy and sweetener. Achieving the right balance of astringency is one of the leading indicators of quality in a black tea.
About Green Tea: Green Tea, best known for its grassy vegetal notes and greenish liquor and leaves, is quickly steamed or pan-fired to denature the oxidizing enzymes and preserve the tea's characteristic freshness. While all tea is antioxidant-rich, some speculate that the minimal processing undergone by green tea allows more antioxidants to reach your final cup. Without oxidation, green teas must be steeped more carefully, as they can become bitter if steeped too long or at too hot of a temperature. Never steep green tea with boiling water; near boiling or even cooler will produce much better results.
About Herbal Tea: Our herbals are blended with lavishly delicious flavors, from famously soothing mints to exotic ingredients like cacao, fennel, anise, cardamom and lemongrass to succulent, juicy fruits like raspberry, orange, apple and even tart but deliciously sweet pomegranate.
About Oolong Tea: The oolongs are a first cousin once removed from the black teas. Oolong tea is partially oxidized to lie somewhere between black and green. While the look is more along the lines of black teas, the taste is closer to the green teas but with a touch more oomph and a rounded mouthfeel. Oolongs are commonly produced in the Fujian province of China and on the island of Taiwan, formerly called Formosa, from which one of the more famous oolong teas is named.
About White Tea: While white teas are "less processed" than greens, they are usually somewhat more oxidized. Mild oxidation occurs during the "wilting" stage, when white tea is air-dried after it is first picked. White tea is then baked and dried further, and it may be very lightly rolled, but little is done to change what was picked from the plant. One way to tell that white tea is slightly oxidized is that white teas don't usually need to be steeped as carefully as greens. Steeping white tea with boiling water or for longer time periods can still produce good results.

Love it
Everything about this glass is great. It fits perfectly in your hand, it holds just the right amount of tea, the lid has the hole for the infuser, it's not too fragile, people are always intrigued by it, and something about having tea in this feels "fancy". Definitely an unusual find....and you'll love it!

Love it!
Some friends gave us a "set" about 2 years ago, and I hadn't used the glass until this evening, because I was afraid it would break. So, I came to the site to get instructions for how to use it and saw the previous review(s) talking about "glass stays cool, even when the tea is piping hot" - that told me that, yes - I can BOIL water and pour it in the glass... WA-LA! I LOVE my 2 year old glass!!! I did find that, if I left about 1 cm of free space at the top, the outside glass stayed nice and cool. But when I added a bit more hot water (to just below the top), the outside glass did warm up - but it was still cool enough to handle comfortably! This glass is sure to get a lot of use now that I'm confident it's not as fragile as it looks! It's beautiful!

Love This Glass!
So elegant and innovative! The glass is beautiful and cool to the touch even though the tea inside is very hot! I will definitely order more of these to serve to all my friends!!

Beautiful and functional
I have a pair of these glasses, which I bought over a year ago, and I use them everyday for my coffee and tea. I've had glass mugs in the past that were pretty fragile and didn't last for more than a month or so, but these are very durable and well-made. Even when the beverage inside is piping hot, the outside of the glass stays cool enough to hold, and the way the glass curves in at the middle allows for a good, sturdy grasp. I prefer these over ceramic mugs because they don't stain or retain flavors and odors, and when the lid is on, the liquid stays hot for a surprisingly long time. I've broken a few lids, but luckily they sell replacements on this site, and they're only a few dollars each, so I always keep one or two extras on hand just in case.
