I didn't think I would use my thermos all day, everyday. Not only for my green tea addiction, but for a simple water vessel as well. The splash guard is brilliant. I never liked thermos' for the awkward sipping lid that most of them offer. The liquid comes out at a slower rate so you aren't risking burning your mouth. Nothing but smooth sipping here.
The Carter Mug is a quality piece. It keeps my coffee warm and the elegant design gets noticed and commented on often. This is my 2nd one. The first was lost and I didn’t hesitate to order another.
