Chinese tea thermos

I found a store that supposedly sells a double-walled tea thermos like we saw people using in China.  But it doesn't say how to order one.  Notice in the picture that the tea is of the better quailty leaves and includes goji berrires and a chrysanthemum flower.

Tea Tiger
Tea Brewing Thermos & Drinking Cup

Travelers to China see tea in every home, business, street corner, and cafe. After all, China is the ancestral home of tea.

Then one notices people drinking tea out of thermoses. Thermoses carried in the hand, hanging from bicycles, sitting on desks, in backpacks & book packs. In a place where people love tea, tea goes with people everywhere. Not teabags, but good loose leaf tea simply brewed.

The Tea Tiger™ is the latest improvement on the tea thermos. It is made of the highest quality material, patented designs, and is new to the US. Part of its beauty is its simplicity. The Tea tiger™ solves the problem of making good tea convenient, easy, and economical for those on the go or working in the busy office. We have sold over 500 Tea Tigers as of February 1st 2006 with no advertising—simply by showing them to our customers. And there are rave reviews. The Tea tiger™ has traveled around the world on airplanes, taken jeep rides to mountain Tea Gardens, trekked in backpacks to remote places, speed along with bicyclists, refreshed commuters in cars & on buses, and sits serenely on many desks.

How does it work? Western tea lovers have always had to fuss with tea pots & tea strainers or succumb to the teabag. Brewing tea in the Tea Tiger™ is based on the S. Chinese Gongfu style where leaves are placed in the bottom of a Guywan cup, water is added, a cover is placed on top, and the tea brews. The cover is slipped slightly to the side to catch any errant leaves & one sips away. When empty, more hot water is added & more cups are enjoyed until the flavor is gone.

Variation. The Tea Tiger™ is a variation on the Guywan Cup. Because of the tall cylindrical shape & the fact that tea leaves sink to the bottom as they re-hydrate, a slow even brewing takes place. We've found that most premium leaf teas retain their natural flavor & sweetness until the last sip. And you can often refill the Tea Tiger™ with more hot water for another cup.

Tigers. Strand Tea is a values based company supporting health, educational & social programs, and environmental initiatives. A portion of every Tea Tiger™ sale goes directly to wild tiger conservation in Tamil Nadu, India.
