The Steep End

Gear: Any time is tea time with the right brewing tools.

In the dark, cold days of winter, few things are more soothing than a hot cup of tea. But just like coffee, a well-brewed tea takes finesse. Whether it’s hitting the right water temperature, infusing leaves to their full potential, or proper storage, these tools will help deliver a perfect brew every time.

Why we like it: Founder of Colorado-based company The Tea Spot, Maria Uspenski used her mechanical engineering background to design the signature Steepware line. The 22-ounce Everest Tea Tumbler features an ultrafine stainless steel filter, double-walled insulation, and a leakproof lid for adventures in the great outdoors or simply your morning cup to-go.
