I am a loose leaf tea addict. I cant stand the bagged stuff and if you don't like tea but have only used the bag stuff I really encourage you to try loose leaf tea. The taste is completely different and so much better. Not to mention there are thousands of kinds of loose leaf teas to try.
When Libre Tea contacted me to review there tea glasses I was very excited. They are a company that makes a very unique tea mug that brews and filters the tea in the glass! This makes taking fresh brewed loose leaf tea out with you easy. Here is what I learned from their site.
(prounounced Lib-ruh Tea) means “free” in French, a deliberate play on words from the creators, as their tea glasses leave you free to enjoy your tea absolutely anywhere! A unique and useful tea travel mug, this tea accessory is a study in sheer elegance.
Their mugs hold approximately 9-10 ounces of tea. Not only are the mugs aesthetically pleasing, with beautiful etchings on the sides and around the lid, and an enchanting hologram on the top of the lid which is stunning in it’s beauty. That was one of the first things I noticed about it when I prepared to use it.
The mug as I first got it. At $24.00 they cost about the same as a regular coffee travel mug.
I love this hologram on the top.
You cant see the lovely etching as well as I would like but the detail around the glass is wonderful.
this is an herbal tisane I tried in my Libre mug. It looks so stunning!
My mug was very easy to use and kept my tea hot for a very long time. I have taken it shopping and it never leaked and is very durable.
So this travel mug (because essentially that’s what this is) is a beautiful mug to carry with you. And the great thing about this mug is that you can carry it with you everywhere, This tea glass allows you to easily use loose teas without hassle or mess, and loose teas are much more varied and delicious than most bagged teas.

By now, you’ve probably discovered the wonderful taste and variety of loose leaf tea and tea’s health benefits. Are you also aware that loose leaf tea has a smaller eco-footprint than tea bags, because of its bulk packaging? And, of course, loose leaf is economical – significantly less than whole leaf tea bags.
My opinion is this is a beautiful, classic, practical, and unique tea mug either for yourself or for that person in your life that drinks tea.
