Quick Answer
The Vanilla Tea Press is a double-walled travel mug that lets you steep loose leaf tea and stop the infusion with a simple slide of the press. You can also use it to make a quick vanilla tea latte by adding milk and sweetener after steeping.
Why Use a Tea Press Over a Regular Infuser
A tea press combines brewing and drinking in one vessel, so you don't need a separate infuser or strainer. The sliding press stops the steeping process instantly, preventing bitter over-extraction. This is especially useful for delicate teas like green or white teas that can turn harsh if left too long.
The Vanilla Tea Press also has a push-button lid that seals to prevent spills, making it ideal for commuting or travel. The double-walled stainless steel keeps your drink hot (or cold) longer without burning your hands.
How to Brew Tea and Make a Latte with the Vanilla Tea Press
- Add Tea and Hot Water: Remove the lid and press assembly. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea (or one tea sachet) to the mug. Pour hot water (around 175°F for green tea, 200°F for black tea) up to the fill line, leaving space for the press. Don't overfill the mug; the press needs room to slide down without spilling hot water.
- Steep and Press: Let the tea steep for the recommended time (usually 2-4 minutes). Then slide the press down slowly to trap the leaves at the bottom. The infusion stops immediately, so your tea won't become bitter. Common mistake: pressing too quickly can force fine leaves through the mesh. Press gently and steadily.
- Make a Vanilla Tea Latte: After pressing, leave the leaves trapped at the bottom. Add a splash of milk (dairy or plant-based) and a teaspoon of vanilla syrup or honey. Stir gently with a spoon, then close the push-button lid and enjoy. For a cold latte, add ice cubes after pressing and before adding milk. The double-wall keeps condensation off your hands.
