Okay, so, I’ve been seeing these “tea mug with tea bag holder” things all over the internet lately, and I finally caved and decided to try one out. I mean, who wouldn’t want a cute little spot to rest their tea bag, right?

First Steps

First things first, I went online and started browsing. There are tons of these mugs! Different shapes, sizes, colors – you name it. I even saw one shaped like an elephant, which was super tempting. It had a little pocket on the side for the tea bag. Eventually, I settled on a simple, yet quite pretty, ceramic mug with a built-in holder on the rim.

Getting the Goods

Once I placed my order, it only took a few days to arrive. I was pretty excited to try it out, to say the least. I gotta say, unboxing it was fun, I ripped open that package like a kid on Christmas morning. The mug was just as I pictured it, and it felt pretty sturdy too, so I think it will hold up.

Brew Time

Now for the moment of truth! I boiled some water, grabbed a tea bag, and got brewing. The mug is a good size, about 13 ounces, I’d say. I popped the tea bag into the hot water and let it steep.

Using the Holder

Here’s where the magic happens. Once I felt the tea was strong enough, I simply lifted the tea bag out and placed it in the little holder on the rim. No more dripping tea bags on the table! It’s the little things, you know?

Sip and Enjoy

With my tea bag safely tucked away, I sat back and enjoyed my tea. It is kind of nice not having the tea bag floating around in there, getting stronger and stronger, sometimes I like to just set it aside after it’s steeped for a bit.

Final Thoughts

So, is a tea mug with a tea bag holder a life-changing invention? Maybe not. But is it a neat little addition to my tea-drinking routine? Absolutely! It’s practical, it’s cute, and it keeps my table clean. Plus, it’s a fun conversation starter when I have guests over. I’d say it’s a win-win!

If you’re a tea lover like me, I’d definitely recommend checking these mugs out. They come in all sorts of styles, so you’re bound to find one that fits your vibe. Happy sipping!
