Check out the travel mugs on tea-mugs.com, a new site I just found. I have the Silver Dragon Top mug and LOVE IT! Yes a bit more expensive than the others you have listed here, but stainless steel and very durable.

The problem with all of these mugs is that none of them have handles. I know there is a certain subset of tea drinker that has to have handles on their mugs, myself included. There’s a great handled travel mug at http://www.starbucksstore.com/products/shprodde.asp?SKU=254413. While I normally would never endorse Starbucks, I’ll make an exception here. I bought this mug several years ago, and it’s amazing. Never leaks, keeps tea warm for 4-5 hours, and has a handle! Even after two years of tough treatment, the only damage is to the outer color coating.

I've wanted to see some different materials used for these travel mugs, like cast iron for instance. Would that be too heavy? I'd also want to buy a sterling silver one because that's my favorite to drink tea out of. I doubt I'd ever find anything like that, but if I did I'd take care of it for many years. --Teaternity

Seconding the Timolino suggestion. I bought one from REI a few years back and was surprised by the quality. The lid never leaked even when shoved upside-down into my backpack. And it keeps tea hot for an incredibly long time. I’ve emptied it the following day and found the dredges of tea inside to still be hot.

I’m surprised the Timolino Travel Mug was not included in this review, as we’ve found it to be the best travel mug with infusor. Sleek design, easy to use, and keeps tea hot for hours…and a good price too – $22 for a 12 oz. size.

Terrific post – I have been intrigued by travel tea mugs but not realy sure what to go for… Will definitely investigate the ones you mention…

Perhaps the next innovation in travel mugs should be a self-propelling homing device to ensure the safe return of those which have been inadvertently left behind somewhere?
