Hario Cold Brew Tea Portable Bottle, 160ml, Smoky Green

This a very high quality but simple product. The glass feels durable yet hand crafted perfect for making any tea iced tea. I have even used store bought tea bags to make tea overnight because I find that cold brew tea tastes better and never bitter. It’s easy to mess up tea when brewing with hot water many people often use the wrong temperature of water and leave the tea brewing too long and end up adding heaps of sugar or honey to cover up what they did wrong. Not with this product you can add loose leaf tea, some filtered water and give it at least 6 hours in the fridge and you will have delicious cold brewed tea that you can add over ice or just drink clean and clear of additives. What’s fun is if you are serving guests it looks elegant serving from this vs a plastic picture you grandma used to serve koolaid in at your childhood bday party. I hand wash mine and it’s not hard to clean.

Works as advertised, very easy to use and the fun part is you can use your own blend of tea leaves. Sleek design.

I bought the green top version of this bottle when in Japan for my cold brew genmaicha green tea. But then realized I make hibiscus tea a lot too, so I bought this cute pink top one for that to match. Cold brew tea on tap :) It's super easy to use - just add tea and water, refrigerate, then pour. When you're done, it's super easy to clean - just dump the tea and rinse and redo. The colors are super cute (calm and muted) And, yes, I'm way too designer-y!

These cold brew bottles are really nice and a unique way of brewing teas. Previously I was just putting tea bags in old OJ bottles and brewing in the sun. They look nice at the table too. My only concern is the glass. I thought they would be plastic containers. I'm a little nervous I might break one putting on and pulling of the rubber lid. It isn't that easy to get on and off.

I love that I can now get the Hario tea diffuser in different colors. It is also a lot less expensive on Amazon than if you bought this from a corporate Tea Seller (TeaVana, Capitol Tea, etc.) I did buy my first one 10 years ago at Capitol Tea and it cost a small fortune. The silicone top is sturdy and that lid stays put. I have carried this tea vessel inside my handbags and never spilled a drop. It is dishwasher safe. I wash the lid on top rack. The glass comes out beautifully. It’s great for making any kind of tea, whether I use bags or loose tea. That little strainer attachment works. It is also very sturdy and comes in handy. This is a very well made vessel and the company seems very conscientious to me. They really concentrate on one thing: how to make your tea perfect and enjoyable. I give these for gifts. FYI: This glass is not exactly delicate, but it’s not Pyrex. Absolutely NO metal spoons or stirrers. I use quality silicone spatulas. It will break if you hit it too hard.

I have several of these to keep the cold brew tea flowing. We don't drink coffee, but lots of tea. I typically use 4 - 5 tsp of my favorite loose tea and then fill with water. It steeps in the fridge for at least 4 hours and I have fantastic tea. I love all sorts. Before pouring, I will give it a little shake (lid still on and filter situated in the top proper), let it settle a bit, then pour. The lid fits nice and tight so no leakage. I really like that there is very little plastic (only the filter) - the base is glass and the top is silicone. Everything is easy to wash - I just pop it in the dishwasher (the lid, cap, and filter all on the top rack, and the glass container in the bottom). Highly recommended if you like to have iced tea at the ready - get two!

Great bottles for brewing cold tea. I brew various varieties of Japanese teas in these. The filter in the top is good. No leaves in the tea glass. They would also be nice to use for water bottles on the dining table, to serve chilled water.

I bought three of them for our family, and I'm the only one using this bottle. Just because of the difference in lifestyle, I guess. I use this as a cold brew tea pot. Cleaning is a bit of a hassle, but it gets the job done. It does contain a plastic filter that's inside the bottle. I also used this as a hot tea pot too, but the glass part is a bit thin and gets very hot. Colors are beautiful, and I think it's worth of money if you actually use it. Usability could be a bit tricky since it's a glass bottle. But it functions as it said anyway.

I love Hario products. So nice bottle!!

I am using this bottle for almost a year - and LOVE it. the setup with the drain and how it works in summer and "prepares drink for you" = effortless

Ottimo prodotto

Nice product and the same as the ones you buy in tea stores - just have the price

Exactement ce que je cherchais : une bouteille pour pouvoir faire des infusions à froid à garder au frigo, de capacité correcte pour pouvoir servir plusieurs verres tout en pouvant nettoyer facilement la partie en verre après usage (quand la partie haute de la bouteille est retirée je passe mon poignet dans la bouteille pour la laver à la main et éviter les dépôts, je ne dépends pas d'un écouvillon). Les couleurs et design/texture du haut de bouteille me plaisent beaucoup, on voit que c'est de la qualité (j'en recommanderai certainement une seconde pour pouvoir préparer deux infusions différentes l'été). Je n'étais pas non plus convaincue par la forme des bouteilles de type "carafe" qui auraient pu gêner dans mon frigo, avec cette forme toute simple de bouteille, c'est vraiment top !
