From Estaly, the dishware has a small detachable compartment to strain your [loose leaf tea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brew-tea-starter-kit) with. The simple white tea cup holds 12 ounces and has an eco-friendly, BPA-free, food grade, bio plastic brewing strainer basket that attaches to the inside of the otherwise normal cup. The tea infuser mug can also be used to infuse regular drinking water. Its sturdy, sleek and minimalist design features a non-slip silicone bottom for added stability as well. The Estaly mug is great for enjoying a [cup of tea at home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-tea-assortment) and makes an office environment and desk area feel more cozy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Cup-containing Infusers:** More companies can create cup-containing infusers with added features to enhance the user experience. - **Eco-friendly Disposable Cups:** Creating cups from eco-friendly materials will appeal to consumers. - **Minimalist Drinkware:** Designing sleek, minimalistic drinkware will appeal to consumers who prioritize aesthetics. ### Where This Applies - **Kitchenware:** Kitchenware companies can create similar, improved cup-containing infusers to cater to tea drinkers. - **Convenience Stores:** Convenience stores can stock and sell eco-friendly disposable cups for daily use. - **Home Decor:** Home decor companies can incorporate minimalistic drinkware into their product range for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Effortless Tea Brewing Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuptone-teacup.md) - [Magnetic Three-in-One Tea Brewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ohteavor.md) - [All-in-One Travel Tea Presses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eclipse-travel-press.md) - [Digital Tea Brewing Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bota-bottle.md) - [Ready-to-Sip Tea Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cup-ji.md) - [Luxury Full-Leaf Tea Brewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affinitea.md) - [Luxe Tea-Brewing Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affinitea-brewing-system.md) - [Next-Gen Tea Brewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airomini.md) - [Bamboo Tea Tumblers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bamboo-tea-tumbler.md)
