Tea is a healthy habit & this stylish ceramic mug makes it even easier to boost your tea intake. Use it to keep tea hot or iced. Thick-walled design has a thermal effect, keeping beverages hot or iced for longer.
It’s the perfect constant companion for having your tea handy & at your preferred temperature. Keep it at your desk (will maintain tea’s temperature whether it is hot or iced better than a regular mug or teacup), in the kitchen when you’re cooking, outdoors when you’re gardening, or take it on the road when you’re doing errands.
Locking lid allows you to open to release steam, or retain temperature between sips.
Contoured shape in the centre makes it more ergonomic to grasp.
Each piece is one of a kind, with hand applied glazes. Hand-wash only. Do not microwave. While this item is well-constructed it is made of ceramic - to prevent damage & breakage, treat it gently, keeping this tips in mind - Ceramic is sensitive to temperature variations - ie. don’t do things like put a hot beverage in it & place it in the fridge, or take it from the fridge or a cold room & fill it with boiling water. Ceramic can also be impacted by vibrations (such as placing it on top of a washing machine on a spin cycle), or setting it down hard on hard surface (such as a stone countertop).

Brewing Instructions
Pour 2 cups of water over 1 tsp. of SILK ROAD premium quality, organic loose tea. This may not seem like a lot of tea but SILK ROAD teas are incredibly fresh & flavourful, which means that you don’t need very much in order to produce a delicious cup of tea. Using any more tea leaves can result in a cup of tea that is too strong.

Sizing Information
Loose teas are sold in refillable tins to preserve the tea’s superb flavour, freshness and nutrients. Normally, we encourage you to bring your empty tins into our shops to refill. However, this is currently on pause due to Covid-19. We’re delighted to offer another eco-friendly, low-waste way to re-use your tins!
Brown bag refills are available when you purchase tea in-store and online. Simply select “refill” to receive your tea in a brown bag refill. Immediately transfer the tea to the original tin it came in, once the brown bag refill is home or has arrived in the mail. Brown bags are 100% recyclable, compostable, biodegradable and made of post-consumer recycled paper.
CAN I STORE TEA IN THE BROWN BAG REFILL? No, it is a short term method for transport only and is not suitable for storing. It will not maintain tea’s freshness, nutrients and flavour. It does not protect against exposure to air, liquid or moisture. Air exposure causes nutrient & flavour loss; liquid/moisture causes tea to mildew. As soon as you get home from the shop, or when it arrives in the mail, transfer tea immediately into Silk Road tins - they are designed to preserve the tea.
ABOUT TEA SIZES Refer to the above chart - our loose teas are sold by volume, not weight.
