Apana Glass Bottle - BPA-Free Hot & Cold Tea Infuser, Bamboo Lid, Silicone Sleeve - 18.5oz

The bottle is amazing and I love the strainer. The cap cracked rather quickly though and I had to superglue the inner plastic lining back into it.

My favorite tea infuser bottle broke. This one was available so I thought I’d give it a try. It’s a good bottle, the bamboo lid is cute and I like the silicone sleeve. It’s less slippery than the wetsuit material that slipped onto my last bottle.My not as favorite parts are:The tea infuser is ridiculously small compared to others. It’s about a third as big as my old infuser (which luckily fits perfectly into this bottle.The gray plastic handle- a handle isn’t needed and it’s unaesthetic.The inside of the lid is plastic all around. My last one had a silicone gasket like this one, and plastic threads but the part that could touch the liquid was stainless.To make myself feel better, I always carry this upright and pre make my coffee or tea and add the milk so the hot liquid won’t touch the plastic interior lid. It does the job all in all and I like it. My old one got a crack and split into big pieces of glass. Hoping this one will last longer!

In theory, this product is cool and the quality is good. However, the design isn't very practical. The infuser is small (fits in the top of the bottle) and very shallow. So, you have to fill the bottle completely full if you want to properly steep your tea. This is tedious because you can't really see how much water is in the bottle, requiring a very slow pour and periodic checking (by lifting up the infuser) so as not to overflow it. That being said, I did fill the glass bottle to the top, and it adequately steeped my tea in a few minutes' time.The bottle can get pretty hot, even with the protective sleeve, so be careful if you're using boiling water. This bottle can also accommodate cold water, which would be nice for making fruit water or iced tea in the summer. There is also the option to not use the infuser and just enjoy this as a water bottle.The twist-on lid has a small built-in handle that can fit flush in the lid. The bottle itself has a fairly wide mouth. The protective sleeve is smooth and has a small branding at the base ("apana"). The sleeve could be removed if you wanted to wash the bottle without it (although it's fine to hand wash it with the sleeve). I ordered the "peri" color and would say it's a bit more blue than what is depicted online; a true periwinkle that is a nice balance between blue and lavender/purple.
