I prepare loose tea multiple times per day. This cup is easy to prepare any loose tea. I use 1-½ tsp for this 12 oz cup and the tea is always just right. I save money and have a wider selection by using loose tea. I am buying one mug for each season, as the seasons correspond to one of the 5 elements. This cup represents water and winter to me, without the obvious snowflake theme. The blue movement is graceful and elegant. Thank you to the designer! So beautiful.
Beautiful and functional. It keeps the tea hot longer.
