Brew loose leaf tea in the mug
A mug with a built-in infuser changes the loose leaf routine. Add your leaves, pour the water, steep, and lift out the infuser when it's ready. No teapot, no separate strainer needed. T2's infuser mugs, including the Billy and the Iconic range, pair a stainless steel baske with fine bone china or porcelain, so the brewing is practical without sacrificing the mug itself. Prefer a mug you already love? T2's standalone infusers fit most mugs in the range, so you're not limited to the built-in options. The Iconic range goes one step further, pairing each mug with a specific T2 tea so the design, the blend, and the vessel all arrive together.
The range
T2's mug collection spans more design directions than any other piece of teaware in the range. The T2 x Pollygarden collaboration brings high-fired ceramic mugs handmade in Seoul, each one shaped by a studio whose work sits somewhere between painting and clay. The Suna mugs are handcrafted in Nagoya, carrying generations of Japanese stoneware tradition into an everyday format. The Moditerranean range arrives in warm Mediterranean tones. And for anyone who likes to see the colour of their tea as they drink, the glass options, in clear hand-blown borosilicate, bring that visual connection to the cup.
FAQs
What is a mug with an infuser?
A mug with an infuser is a single vessel for brewing and drinking loose leaf tea. A stainless steel basket sits inside the mug while the tea steeps, then lifts out cleanly when it's ready. The lid keeps the heat in while brewing and doubles as a resting plate for the infuser once you're done — no drips, no separate strainer, no teapot needed.
Can I brew loose leaf in any T2 mug?
Yes, T2's standalone infusers fit most mugs in the range, so you don't need a built-in infuser to brew loose leaf. A selection of mugs also come with a stainless steel infuser and lid included.
Can I put my T2 tea mug in the dishwasher?
To keep your T2 mug looking as good as the day you unboxed it, we recommend handwashing. Many of our designs feature delicate finishes, patterns, or metallic details that can lose their shine in the dishwasher. A quick wash in warm, soapy water will do the trick.
How do I clean tea-stained mugs?
To clean tea-stained mugs, fill the mug with equal parts white vinegar and warm water. Let it sit for about 15 minutes, then scrub the stains with a sponge or brush. Rinse thoroughly. If stains persist, make a paste of baking soda and water, apply to the stains, scrub and rinse. Repeat if necessary until the stains are gone.
What capacity are T2 mugs?
T2 mugs range from 350ml to 450ml depending on the style. The Iconic range and most fine bone china mugs sit at 400ml. Capacity is listed on each product page.
What is the difference between a T2 mug and a cup and saucer?
A mug is a larger, handled vessel designed for everyday use at home or at a desk. A cup and saucer is a smaller, more considered format — better suited to a slower, more deliberate tea moment.
