What To Look For When Buying Tea Infuser Bottles
If you’re looking at getting yourself a tea infuser bottle, there are a few things you need to look out for. By doing this it will give you the best opportunity of getting the device that’s right for you:
Materials
A tea infuser bottle comes in two key materials glass and stainless steel. This means you don’t have to worry about any harmful chemicals inside the bottle. Stainless steel seems to be more popular with people that have a tendency of dropping things.
Designs
For people looking to add a touch of style to their tea infuser might want to look at the designs the bottle offers. Tea infuser comes with a whole range of color patterns and styles. They vary from brand to brand, so it’s definitely something worth checking out.
Double-Walled
Keeping your beverages hot or cold is vital for a good tea drinking experience. Double walling provides insulation to the bottle ensuring your drink stays hot or cold depending on your preferences. To help you out all of the tea infuser bottles listed below are double-walled.
Volume
The volume of the bottle determines how much liquid you can store in the bottle. You need to judge your tea drinking habit accordingly. Think, how many cups of tea would I usually drink, this will give you a better idea of how big you want your bottle to be.
Stays Warm For
Different bottles are able to keep your tea warm for varying amounts of time, and in the end, it really comes down to the manufacture. Most companies will inform you how long their drinks bottle can keep the tea warm for. The ones that don’t are best staying from.
Protection Sleeve
This is pretty important when it comes to glass tea infusers. Glass bottles can get hot pretty quick, even the insulated one so a protection sleeve saves your fingers. They also provide limited protection for minor bumps and drops due to the fragility of glass.
