Help with Steeping at Work

Good day to all! I would like to steep my loose tea at work, but I can’t have ANY open containers. Even the open spout of a pot would be frowned upon. What I’m looking for is some sort of mid-sized (~20oz?) vessel (glass or stainless steel preferred) for steeping tea that is entirely enclosed. I also would like it to be easy to clean out (like a basket). I think ideally, I could get a sort of glass infuser pitcher with a steel mesh basket in it. I know this is asking a lot; thank you for your help!

This isn’t 20oz… it’s 12oz… but, it is stainless steel and has a mesh basket for leaves. :)

Or… would a Steeper be acceptable?

Tricky, mostly with size. I’m thinking a travelling tea tumbler would be best, but often don’t come past 16oz. 10 to 12oz is more common
If 16oz is okay, maybe http://www.davidstea.com/midnight-green-timolino-16-oz?&TF=ADA13E5CAE3F&DEID=

Thanks! If I can’t find something without the plastic parts, this is probably what I’ll go with.

This is my favorite travel mug! It’s 14oz, glass on the inside with plastic on the outside. It’s pretty sturdy and has a few different ways you can steep tea.

That looks awesome! I have one kind of like that by Teas Etc, but it isn’t double walled and it gets really hot

Thanks for sharing that link, KallieBoo. I’ve been looking for a clear tea thermos, but needed something that was both robust enough for travel and able to survive being owned by an occasionally spectacular klutz! I’ll give the Libre a try.
