10 Reviews: Best Travel Mug for Tea (May 2023)

The press-on top of Stanley’s vacuum pint has a deeply pebbled appearance that is reminiscent of vintage flasks, hard helmets, and construction sites. This makes it an excellent option for your morning tea. This feature is included with the purchase of the product. In spite of the fact that it is advertised as a pint containing 16 ounces, Stanley has added a few additional ounces so that there is room for the foam (or splashing hot coffee). The top is equipped with a metal bottle opener that can be slid out when not in use.

"Put this guy to use right away. 101 here yesterday, held cold iced tea like a champ. Then in the evening it kept my favorite beer nice and cold. Highly recommend, love the large guzzle opening."

Yeti mugs are widely regarded as the gold standard in the industry for high-quality travel mugs.

The Rambler is made of stainless steel and is vacuum insulated, so your drink will stay hot for hours without burning your hands. This makes it the ideal mug to take to work with you so you can enjoy your afternoon tea. It also comes with a helpful cap that is rather easy to put on and take off.

"Got this as a part of a Mother’s Day present for my coffee addict 58 year old mom. She takes over two hours to finish her cup of tea or coffee and reheats the cup ten times and then forgets and then heats it again. .."

"perfect size for my coffee when I need to have more than one cup! Keeps it hot for hours so I do not need to reheat as I used to in my regular mugs. I like to make my coffee early in the morning and finish it by noon. So perfect...I sip it warm all day because I do not like it scorching hot :-)"

It features a compact base that fits into most cup holders, yet it has a big 34-ounce capacity. Both the inside and outside of the cup are made of BPA-free plastic, with foam insulation between the two layers to keep your tea hot during your travel. It is reasonably priced, and the grip on the handle is padded with a soft substance for enhanced comfort. This travel mug has more than 5,000 good Amazon reviews, making it a great contender for your top pick.

"...For the price, it beats anything and it is perfect to drink out of and hold. The design has no flaws, and after about 10 uses it pays itself back. I highly recommend any homie out there who's been longing for that right feel on his coffee cup to go ahead and purchase one of these thingies and forget about all his problems once that caffeine hits...."

If you’re searching for something with a more antique touch, the Ello Campy travel mug is just what you’re looking for. This 18-ounce travel mug is inspired by the classic enamel mugs that are often linked with outdoor activities. This mug will keep tea hot for five hours and cold for ten hours thanks to its vacuum insulation. Furthermore, there is no risk of any leaks. Because the handle is lined with cork composite, it’s easy to grasp and keep a solid grip on it, and the material is BPA-free.

"My mother in law loves this travel mug. She is over 80 years old and has a better social life, then myself. She lives to have her tea and hot water with her everywhere she goes. .."

With over 6000 reviews on Amazon, The Haushof isn’t a well-known travel mug brand with a lot of positive feedback. It boasts a thin base that fits nicely in cup holders, as well as double-walled insulation to keep your tea hot or cold. The handle is made of robust, sturdy plastic and the lid is leak-proof. You’ll find everything you need in a portable cup. Only the 24-ounce size fits in a cup holder, and it’s currently available in only two colors: seafoam green and black. The 16 oz is excellent for automobile trips and camping because it has a larger base than the 12 oz.

"this is literally my 6th mug that i've ordered. i was looking for a mug for hot tea, that is easy to open, leakproof, kept the tea warm for hours and i wanted a mug not a bottle. every mug i ordered either leaked, or the top was hard to open, i even had one that the top popped off from the steam from my tea. this one is perfect, just what i need and i'm finally happy."

This travel tea cup has a more classic mug-like form and a comfortable grip with  18/8 professional-grade stainless steel and features a non-slip silicone base that’s also scratch- and noise-free when placed on a tabletop. It comes with a copper-plated insulated cup that is triple-insulated, double-walled, and vacuum-sealed. It kept tea hot for 3 hours as promised, and the temperature was still warm after 6 hours.

"Finally I've found an 18oz cup that will keep my tea hot. Never tried a yetti but after this Swig I don't have to. I recently tested the mug with my digital candy thermometer. From a boiling water it cooled to 185* with tea and cup. In three and a half hours it was still 145*. That's pretty hot for that amount of time."

This mug is made of stainless steel and can resist a drop. The Rambler, designed by Yeti, a Texas-based outdoor gear company, is built to travel long distances—on rafting trips, camping vacations, and other adventures—but it also works well at home or at work, thanks to its broad, functional handle. The glass, tight-fitting lid keeps most spills at bay, and it comes in a choice of colorful colors. It’s worth mentioning that the lid has a hole in it for easy drinking. The broad handle makes it simple to pick up, even with larger hands.

"I am really really really happy with this mug! I have several Hydroflasks in all sizes and styles for hot and cold. None of them are exactly right, most are too heavy, lids leack, they don't fit in car cup holders, etc etc.."

Sunwill’s coffee mug’s double-walled vacuum insulation keeps your favorite tea hot for 3+ hours and cold for 9+ hours. Non-combustible, non-condensing, and non-sweating. The insulated coffee cup is made of high-quality 18/8 kitchen-grade stainless steel that won’t rust, is lead-free, easy to clean, and won’t break, making it an excellent choice for a car travel mug. Scratch-resistant, peel-resistant, and fade-resistant pearlized finish.

"This wonderful mug lasted longer than my Yeti and is still working. My tea stays hot all day long! My Yeti stopped keeping ice because the vacuum had a leak. This brand is better than Yeti, in my opinion, and is more affordable..."

With over 54,000 reviews and five stars on Amazon, this insulated, vacuum-sealed tumbler is sure to be a favorite among on-the-go coffee and tea fans. You can sip from it in two ways at the desk: through the flip cover or through an opening made exclusively for the supplied reusable straw. This one comes in a number of shapes and colors if you want attractive travel mugs (including floral, ombre, and marble patterns).

"These are literally the best cold cups I’ve ever had. We drink a ton of iced tea, and when we travel we keep these in the car cup holders. In the summer we left them uncovered while shopping in the heat/humidity of summer the iced tea still stays ice cold and the ice doesn’t melt or water down the drink whatsoever. .."
