Why Choose
Skip the teapot. Load the infuser, pour hot water, and steep in the same cup you'll drink from. Fewer dishes, fuller flavour.
Transparent borosilicate glass turns brewing into a small ritual. Watch the liquor deepen, the leaves unfurl, and pull the infuser at exactly the right moment.
Stainless steel means no disposable bags or filters, ever. The infuser rinses clean, lasts for years, and keeps single-use paper out of your routine.
Compact enough for a desk, elegant enough for guests, and lightweight enough for your bag. One cup that moves through your whole day.
Visual, tactile, and genuinely useful — a glass tea cup with infuser is the kind of gift tea lovers actually keep. See our gift sets.
Borosilicate glass tolerates rapid temperature shifts that would crack ordinary glass — pour boiling water directly with confidence.
What Sets Ours Apart
Heat-resistant to at least 150 °C differential, lead-free, and optically clear. The glass maintains its clarity and structural integrity over years of daily use — no clouding, no crazing.
304-grade stainless steel with a mesh fine enough to hold small-leaf teas like Gunpowder and Dragonwell. Water circulates freely while leaves stay in the basket, not your cup.
The handle is wide enough for a full-hand grip, and the lid doubles as an infuser rest — so you never need a second dish when you pull the basket out mid-steep.
The air pocket between twin glass walls slows heat transfer in both directions: tea stays hot longer, and your hand never needs a sleeve. The outer wall also stays condensation-free for cold drinks.
Cup, lid, and infuser are all top-rack dishwasher safe on most models. No special detergents, no hand-dry-only rules. Just put it in and forget it.
Available in 12 oz, 16 oz, and 20 oz to match whether you want a focused gongfu-style serving or a generous desk mug. Compare sizes →
Make the Right Call
Eight factors to weigh before you buy a glass tea cup with infuser.
01
12 oz — focused single serving. 16 oz — everyday desk mug. 20 oz — long-steep or generous refills.
02
Always choose borosilicate over soda-lime. It withstands thermal shock, stays optically clear, and resists chemical leaching.
03
Look for 304-grade stainless steel and laser-cut or woven mesh fine enough to trap small leaves. Avoid plated or coated steel.
04
Double-wall keeps tea hot longer and hands comfortable. Single-wall is lighter and often less expensive — fine if you drink quickly.
05
A well-designed lid seals heat in during steeping and flips into an infuser rest. Check whether the lid fits securely without rattling.
06
Confirm all three components — cup, lid, infuser — are dishwasher-rated if that matters to you. Some silicone seals require hand washing.
07
For commuters: look for a secure lid seal and consider a carry sleeve. For desktop use, a wider base and handle are more important than weight.
08
A handle wide enough for 3–4 fingers reduces fatigue during a full 16 oz cup. Ergonomic loop handles suit most grip styles.

The fine-mesh infuser is versatile enough for needle-rolled Gyokuro and large-leaf Bai Hao alike. A single cup handles your entire tea shelf. Browse by tea type →
Keep It Pristine
A quick rinse prevents tannin buildup and keeps the glass clear.
Tap the basket to remove spent leaves, then rinse under running water. A small brush helps with dense mesh.
Borosilicate handles thermal change well, but don't pour boiling water into a cold-from-freezer cup.
Allow all parts to dry completely before stacking to prevent moisture trapping and odour.
A 10-minute soak in diluted white vinegar dissolves tea stains from both glass and mesh without chemicals.
Microwave and dishwasher ratings vary by model. Always confirm for your specific cup before use.
Common Questions
Yes. Borosilicate glass is formulated to withstand rapid temperature swings that would crack ordinary soda-lime glass. It is also non-porous and chemically inert, so it won't absorb flavours or leach compounds into your drink. All Huading cups use genuine borosilicate — not standard glass marketed as heat-resistant.
Absolutely. Simply drop the tea bag directly into the cup without the infuser. The infuser is removable, so you can use the cup however suits you — loose leaf, bags, or both on different days.
Yes — the stainless steel basket lifts straight out once steeping is done. The wide opening makes it easy to tap out spent leaves, and the mesh can be rinsed clean under running water in seconds. For a deeper clean, a small soft brush or an overnight vinegar soak works well.
Most models in our glass tea cup with infuser collection are top-rack dishwasher safe for both the cup and infuser. However, always confirm with the specific product listing, as some models with silicone seals or decorative coatings recommend hand washing.
Single-wall glass provides limited insulation — tea will cool within 20–30 minutes. If heat retention matters, choose a double-wall model from our range: the trapped air layer significantly extends how long your tea stays at drinking temperature, and your hand stays comfortable throughout.
As a direct glassware manufacturer, Huading supports both retail and bulk orders. Contact our team for wholesale pricing, custom logo options, and MOQ details tailored to your business.
Yes, and glass is the ideal choice for flowering teas precisely because you can watch the bloom open. Remove the infuser, drop the flowering ball into the cup, and pour hot water. The clarity of borosilicate makes the entire display visible from every angle.
