This is by far the best iced-tea mug I've used yet! As with ANY double-walled cup, glass, or mug, it must be handled with a certain amount of care--but this one has qualities that make it a pleasure to use. It feels sturdy. The glass is of such high quality that it can stand extreme heat or cold--and tea stains are easier to remove from this one than from others I've tried. The handle is large and also feels sturdy because it is made of thick glass and is firmly attached to the mug. This is a blessing for those of us adults whose fingers are so short that we must lift the very wide restaurant tea glasses with both hands to avoid losing our grip and spilling the liquid.



The size of this mug helps in a number of ways: (1) It holds 20 ounces of iced tea--enough to last throughout an entire meal or a long work session. (2) It holds an ample amount of ice for those of us who "like tea with our ice." (3) The amount of dead air space in this mug is much greater than that in most others. This feature creates such effective insulation that the ice remains frozen for at least 2-3 hours. As a result, the tea--or soft drink--remains the desired strength for a significantly longer time. The larger air space also keeps the outer layer of glass from becoming cold, so this mug does not sweat.



I have bought five of these so far, have given two to family members, and plan to buy (and give) more. For those avid iced tea drinkers who have been searching for the perfect mug, this is it!
