Hario Cold Brew Tea Wine Bottle, 750ml, Olive Green

I've so far used this for oolong, pearl, pouchong, and green tea. It's been brilliant each time. I am really enjoying the subtler, smoother flavors of cold brew tea. This has replaced the V8 energy drink I normally take into work each morning. Sufficient caffeine, and I can sip on it all day without getting TOO caffeinated. The wine-bottle-style is great for sealing the tea from bad fridge odors and pouring into a separate container (which you definitely should do to stop steeping), and it also looks nice. It really throws off friends who know I'm a teetotaler. "Hey, I thought you didn't drink?" "But, of course I do! It's TEA!" I have held this thing upside down completely full of water, and the seal held perfectly. The wine-bottle shape and silicone top make pouring safe and easy. No worries of spillage or chipping your favorite teaware. The whole top assembly comes apart easy as a pie that someone else made. The cork pops right out, the rest of the topper pops right off, and the mesh strainer comes out with a simple twist and pull. Even my arthritis gives this most of a thumbs up (it would give more if it physically could). The glass is also heat-resistant so that you can do a quick hot brew before adding cold water to hasten the steeping process. There are three cons I can think of, however one is more of a pro for me: Firstly, the graduation markings are impossible to see. They're tiny light-gray squares that blend in shockingly well with flowing water and tea leaves. It would be astoundingly easy to overfill this thing past any particular marking you may be aiming for. I fill the whole thing up, so the markings mean nothing to me anyway. But, they might mean something to you. The bottle is actually 1L even though it's listed as 750ml. The measurement lines only go up to 750ml, and the instructions do tell you to fill to this line. However, this line is only 3/4 of the volume of the bottle. So, if you're looking for a 1L bottle like I was, you don't have to settle if you purchase this item. You're actually getting more than they advertise! In this economy! Lastly, the mesh strainer isn't the tightest knit, but I feel it's as tight as it could be while still allowing a good flow rate when pouring. Your leaves are safe from your mug, but finer particulates and tea dust can make it through. It's literally nothing huge -- it's better than a gaiwan -- but don't expect it to be perfect when you're using your last teaspoon of leaf. All in all; if you're looking for a thing in which to cold brew your tea that isn't just an old mason jar, then this is a great choice.

I use this constantly. For either water, tea storage, making tea, or for storing various drinks for travel. It fits in my backpack pocket well, but it would not fit in a normal car cupholder. Cleaning inside of the top is difficult, and I worry this will be a problem later, but thankfully there are no seals or anything needing removal. The dishwasher has been working great so far, no smells, and the taste has remained neutral. I haven't dropped this full height before, but it has taken some small falls and rolled across the floor.

Very easy to use. Great for making cold brew tea.

This is awesome for infusing alcohol! Works super well, no leaks, and is a fraction of the cost of other bar marketed options.

Great product brought to you by a great brand! This does not have to be one of those kitchen items that ends up collecting dust in your cupboard! Well constructed as expected from Hario! Super durable! Great quality!

Easy to use .easy to wash, great for cold brews doesn’t take much space.

I drink cold-brewed green tea everyday and this is a must have for those of us who enjoy cold brew. Throw some rolled oolong, fill with water and stick in the fridge over-night. it fits perfectly in the fridge door as size and shape is equivalent to a wine bottle. I actually bought mine years ago, and it still looks great; only the plastic filter (not visible) is hard to clean of tea stains that accumulate over time. I've given this as gifts for cold-brewed tea drinkers.

Love it!

Cómodo y fácil de usar y limpiar. La silicona cierra bien y el filtro es fácilmente desmontable para lavar. No tengo ninguna pega.

My first foray into cold brewed tea, and I wasn't sure what to expect, but this bottle made the job a lot easier! I love how it looks like a wine bottle (top tip though - remove the stopper before you put the lid on the bottle, otherwise you'll have someone's eye out!) This is a good size and it seems really well made. Considering I'd seen these for £8 more on the website of the company whose tea I'm using, I was really impressed with the price of this one on Amazon. It's good quality, does the job well, and was worth every penny.

PRODOTTO CONFORME ALL'USO

Topproduct! Ik gebruik de fles om iced-tea te maken. De thee kan rechtstreeks in de fles, het bijna kokende water erbij. Wanneer het een beetje is afgekoeld, plaats ik de fles in de koelkast. Het drankje heeft veel succes bij de kids!

Love that this is glass, and it works exactly as the manufacturer said.
