Re: Multiple Infusings - Delay?

What is a Fuguang tea traveler? That sounds very exotic.

as posted by Bluesea. Google is your friend

Oh, yeah, thanks! :)

They're really kewl. You can get one off of eBay or:

Well, there it's called the Anhui tea thermos (and isn't "thermos" a registered trademark not to be used to describe other companies' products?), but the box says "FUGUANG" in big letters across the top.

Hmm...along the side, the box says Anhui Fuguang Plastics Co., Ltd...

...if your Chinese is any good.

"Thermos" is a registered trademark. But (like bandaid, kleenex, xerox, jell-o, and velcro) it has become a "proprietary eponym."

Some companies vigorously protect their trademark. Others don't.

Thanks. Somehow, I don't see Yellow Mountain as being big enough for the Thermos people to get vigorous about, anyway.

I googled "Fuguang tea traveler" and came across that link, and maybe two others. Not alot on the google front. Is "Fuguang" have another English spelling that I should use. Those words are always transliterations anyway.

There is another design made by "Hengdazhizao" (Lu Lu Shun tel

13017986181) that while very similar is also better IMHO. Instead of a screen that screws onto the glass and a lid that screws onto the screen, it has a screen that simply sits inside of the top of the glass and then a lid that screws directly onto the glass itself. The advantage being that there is only one threaded connection to potentially leak. With the Fuguang model I sometimes find that the screen comes off when I only mean to take the lid off or vice versa. It also leaks more than the Lu Lu model.

I misspoke. I was talking more generally. The one Mike describes is the very one I own.

Googling for "Hengdazhizao", "Lu Lu Shun", and "13017986181" resulted in no matches. Where did you get yours? Can you provide a link?

Thanks.

These sound quite interesting, but I just had a question or two about these thermoses. Do they feel hot when you drink out of them? They are plastic, right? Are they well insulated or molded to where they have double thickness or sort of double back on themselves if you can possibly imagine what I am trying to ask? (Obviously I didn't live out my boyhood dream of becoming an engineer.) They just look kind of thin skinned in the URL. Do the screens get nasty pretty quick? If used for an entire day they might seem obviously nasty, whereas the filter in my little pot is hidden from view, making it not very obviously nasty.

FYI - Because of the longer infusion, my water for this is 120-140 degrees F.

Warm, not hot, not anywhere close to uncomfortable.

Yes.

Yes.

No, they're not thin-skinned; not single-wall construction.

If I understand what you're asking, no, the screen doesn't get nasty. The flow of the liquid carries the leaves to the screen as you raise the bottom to drink, then they go back down when you lower it from your mouth. A few might get beached but they're easily dislodged if you want by sloshing or swirling or tipping the container or simply drinking again to make the liquid engulf them and make them swim again.

And where do you get these? Google didn't help much . . . .
