My Adagio Jumbo Tea Cup
This has been my favorite purchase of the Fall. I love that it has it's own infuser and a top that becomes a tray for the infuser after your done steeping. I bought this during that first bite of Fall weather, with a bunch of white and green team samplers and have enjoyed every one of them.
If you're interested in tea at all, Adagio is a great place to start - they have terrific sampler packs and teaware - plus a tea community, where you can chat with other members, locate tea places close to you (or while traveling!), a blog, a recipe site and a soon-to-be tea critics corner. If you interested in learning about tea - or sharing a passion - the Adagio website is a great first stop.
I also like Steepster, which seems to be growing in leaps every time I visit. I love their new Tasting Notes - which highlights users steeping and tea experiementations, and Steepster Select, which is their "deal of the day". It's a great place to discover new teas or teaware - I was able to get a great travel mug to take with me on my trips.

I was just thinking that at our house and office, we need a better way to make a cup of tea. This looks just right.

@p0ps you should also get Adagio Tea's UtiliTEA tea kettle. Makes getting the right temp for green/white teas easy

We got the IngenuiTEA infuser, because there's two of us and we thought we'd (I) break the glass cups. And we got the IngenuiTEA water
heaterupper you suggested, Jane. We're having very nice tea,
transitioning from coffee. Thank you, all is well in our world.
