I loved it, but being all glass it got a bit slippery and broke while washing it. But I loved it! It was beautiful to see the colors of the different teas.

This is so convenient for work. It makes it so there is no extra dishes or materials to take care, which is perfect when you only really have a few seconds to make some tea.
I luv this travel tea tumbler!! I have yet to make a bad cup of tea in it. I do agree that the holes are a bit too big but I always just put my loose tea leaves in a paper tea filter. Less mess then dealing with tea leaves all over.
The tea maker on the go! It is so easy and really I like to use it for ice tea.
I enjoy having this tea tumber because i can make my tea while am at work or home especially if i only wants to drink one cup.
Love this little device! It is perfect for work and yes, like other reviews, a few tea leaves are able to escape the filter but nothing too bothersome.
This is a very handly travel mug. I use it every day. The only issues I have is that it is kind of a little to fragile, I bearly accidently hit the bottom end and it shattered. Another issue I have is the holes for the infuser part are too big. But I love this thing and use it every day on my way to work.
I love the glass container but between my husband and I, we have broken several. Any chance that these can be fit with a sleeve to help alleviate breakage? I have a water container with a silicone sleeve that seems to help.
It's a little on the small side to get me through the morning, but it works great!
Love the look! I always bring this to my workout. Unfortunately, I dropped it and the outside glass broke. I still use it but I'm purchasing another one. :)
ActiviTEA is easy to use and great to bring for the morning commute.
This infuser works very well for large leaf teas, but the holes are large enough to allow particles from finer teas pass through. Its very convenient and I use it every day.
It would have been better if it was larger. However, it is an excellent to go container made of glass not plastic!
I gave this as a gift to my friend. She loves it and uses it every day.
I wish this had a finer mesh strainer like the IngenuiTea. I also wish it closed on the top as well and had a travel lid. Overall, it's a great product though.
the best set the dial and it comes out right temp good to not kill the benefits of tea very reliable have three in strategic locations
The only gripe I have is the size. It's quite small-about the size of a small aerosol can-and doesn't hold much tea. The glass is slightly thicker than other glass Adagio products (glass teapot, mug, etc.) and I'm more confident in its durability.
That's the main gripe. Everything else holds true like the useless tea basket (put the tea in the bottom) and the tricky seals around the caps, but you quickly establish a rapport of sorts and it works.
In the end, it's very beautiful, relatively good at insulating, and feels great. Just make it bigger.
I love this, I bought two of these and makes a great gift!
Wonderful product, very sleek and elegant looking while being very functional
I love my activiTEA. It looks cool and makes great tea using loose tea, which is better for the environment then lots of tea bags that include staples and labels.
This is such a pretty tumbler. I love to watch the color bleed into water as it steeps. Although, I don't like to use the steeper in the lid because the tea leaves slip through the mesh. I usually use my other steeper or put the leaves in a teabag to steep.
I love how long it keeps my tea warm for. I am a forgetful drinker and have far to often reached for my mug only to grimace at the lukewarm tea inside. My main complaint is, as others have noted, that the holes in the infuser are to large.
The tumbler is incredibly disappointing. The idea is sound, however it leaks when returned to upright and the body gets so hot that I couldn't pick it up to drink my tea. Thus far the only disappointing product I have ever had from adagio though.
Awesome! Perfect for a nice JOLT (Wake-Up) of tea. (could be bigger) It is nice for on the go...before you go on your busy day.
Interesting and nice product. Like others here have noted, the strainer could use a redesign as some of the leaves may slip into the tea. after a few tries using different loose-leaf teas I tried a filter bag and it worked well enough. Being a glass vessel you have to be careful not to knock it around too hard I guess but that is expected with any glass container (specially thin borosilicates since they are thermal-resistant not shock-resistant).
Similar issues with other owners of this product. The holes in the basket that holds the tea leaves are a bit big, and so far I've always had a floater or three once I've actually removed the leaves. BUT! It works well enough, and I've never actually had to drink the floating leaves (thank god.) so I'm happy.
Thanks Adagio for offering so many great products.
Perfect for taking tea to class. Looks great and functions well.
Great on the go tea thermos. Very durable and high quality. Love the ability of taking my loose leaf teas on the go. If you are an active tea drinker, this is a must have.
I'm a little disappointed. The activitea itself is gorgeous, but the double glass casing definitely does not keep the outside from being very hot to the touch and when i tried to use it on the go, it was just very messy trying to get the tumblr out so i could drink it. Maybe I'll get better at it and change my review, but for now I'm not as happy with this as I was hoping.
I like this bottle because I can now take my awesome tea on the go. The only issue I have is that there is no separation between the top cap and the brewing basket. It's hard to be able to drink while driving, so in the future it would be nice to see a different lid that allows for drinking without getting a mouthful of tea leaves.
Great - but breaks at the slightest provocation. The first break was my fault with my fat jerk of a cat knocking it over in search of food. The second time, it merely tipped over in a lunch bag and shattered into pieces. Somewhat disappointed, but at the same time, expect the fragility with glass.
I prefer this over other tumblers. The glass has a nicer aesthetic to it. Plus, it's slim enough to hide away in my purse or backpack. Great for steeping oolongs.
Very high quality product, use it all the time on the go. Would be nice if there was a version that held more tea.
while it gets the job done, the filter on activiTEA isn't very good. i'm constantly drinking in loose tea leaves. i think i'll try using one of the bag filters to help catch the leaves once adagio has them back in stock!
Great for travel even it the tea basket seams a bit short.
This is awesome. It keeps tea hot for a while and is the best one I have found yet. I use it every day. I totally recommend.
Just got this, still trying it out. You can use it by putting tea leaves directly in or using the infuser. We've had a little trouble with it leaking...but that might just be a user error. Still gorgeous though and sleek design.
I was hoping to be wowed with this tumbler, but not so much. As others have noted, the holes in the basket are too large, so you end up with a lot of leaves in your tea. Also,after brewing according to package directions and flipping the bottle upright, I've had significant leakage with a correctly threaded lid, which is pretty frustrating when your trying to make your way out of the door in the morning. If I still had the box, I would probably return it, but since I don't, I'll just continue to use it very carefully and deal with the leaves until I find a better solution.
Works GREAT! I love it! I bought two of them, one for myself, and another for the husband. We couldn't be happier. It is steeped to perfection every time! You definitely get your
money's worth! I would recommend to anyone whom wants to steep their loose leaf tea on the go!
Those of you who complain about having to turn the cup upside down: It says to do that in the instructions. And it works. :D
I love the concept of this to-go mug. It's really easy to clean and keeps my tea fairly hot/warm for a bit. My main problem with it, as others have said, is that the holes in the straining area are too large. I love to have mate teas and this isn't the best for that. If Adagio ever modifies it to hold every kind of tea, I'd definitely get it again!
I was hesitant to get this due to the negative reviews. Now that I have it in person I don't know what ya'll are talking about. Normally glass tea tumblers don't make it past a week in my hands. This tumbler on the other hand was clearly designed for someone actually on the go, carrying this thing around, putting it in my backpack water bottle holder, etc. I love it!
This is brilliant, sleek and practical. I actually put the tea leaves into the base of the glass and let the strainer filter the tea through.
this was a gift along with a gift card... the recipient seemed content with it, made her tea purchases and quickly started using the bottle.
The perfect way to drink tea at work! Easy to use and it keeps my tea warm. I love it.
I loved my activiTEA travel tumbler for the two times I was able to use it. The tumbler is not very sturdy and after accidentally dropping it about a foot it shatter and sent glass everywhere. I'd love to have the tumbler for more than 5 hours but can't justify buying it again with the chances of it breaking again.
This thing is great! I've been using it for a few months now and its perfect to bring a cup of tea along with me for my morning commute. Keeps my tea warm for well over an hour, simple, functional and easy to clean.
Great concept, poor design. It leaked every time I used it. When I cranked it tight, the outer glass broke.
I love the design of all of the parts except the strainer itself. It is a bit awkward to remove the lid and pop it out, leaving a large open hole to drink from. I'd rather it have a small opening to sip from and keep the tea warm. But over all I enjoy it. *UPDATE* The strainer is letting increasing more tea bits into the water. I still enjoy the jar itself, but I won't be using it as a brewer too often.
