4) Twistea
With the unique tea infuser, Twistea, making a well- brewed cuppa is now just a twist away! Add your desired amount of tea leaves into the stainless steel filter in the bottle; close the lid, turn the bottle upside down and pour hot water – the bottle can withstand temperatures from -20 to 100 deg C – from the other opening. Once the leaves have been infused, twist the middle section of the bottle to shut the filter out, and retain the flavour of your tea at its desired strength. The 380ml bottle is also BPA-free.
