Leaving tea to steep for too long can quickly render it bitter, so the Solo Tea mug is engineered to be an efficient way to curb this occurrence from happening. Available now for preorder on Kickstarter, the Solo Tea works by enabling users to set a timer on various infusion cycles to ensure that different teas can be brewed with ease. Compatible with tea bags and loose leaf teas, the Solo Tea can be set to infuse brews for three, four or five minute cycles, depending on needs or preferences.
The stylish Solo Tea mug works by allowing water and tea to meet only for as long as required and using an LED signal to let you know when it's time to drink.
