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.

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.

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

I love hario products and own several myself, I had been eyeing this for a while (and may also purchase the coffee cold brew one in the future). I love how they look and function! The only thing about these that I'd warn about is that the silicon lid that holds the filter looks like it can be used to actually lift/pick up the bottle - which is not the case, and anyone who has purchased this can tell based on the way the silicon lid fits onto the bottle; not a screw on top, but just pops on and off. So if the bottle is heavy from the liquid you'll need to pick it up by the glass bottle itself otherwise there's a risk that the glass bottle will fall and break. I still love them though and would definitely purchase again.

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

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!

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

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.

its a cold brew bottle and its super handy to throw in 8 teaspoons of tea and then fill to the brim with tap water and put in fridge overnight or 5 hours etc or longer. We make bubble tea (boba) at home. So we have two of these with jasmine tea in the fridge at all times and then pour in our fruit syrup and jellies and stir and bam- instant bubble tea. The inbuilt strainer means its literally a store and pour. Because its cold brew - you also don't have the bitterness you can get from overheating or overdrawing your tea. The product itself is beautiful quality and very well designed. Great investment if you like chilled tea drinks.

Tea tastes great in this bottle, put water and green tea leaves and leave them to steep in refrigerator for 5-7 hours, add some honey and lemon and bingo, be ready for an amazing drink
