Steepware Review
Overview
Steepware is a bottle that knows its purpose. As the name would suggest, this bottle is good for steeping and brewing loose leaf tea.
The built-in stainless steel infuser is one of the larger ones on the market (though not the largest). It's a great size for a 22oz bottle like this one, compared to a bottle like EcoVessel that has a smaller strainer and a larger bottle. If you're looking for a portable way to brew and keep your tea hot, Steepware is a great option to consider. |

- Do Steepware bottles contain lead? | We have not found an official statement or test that shows whether or not Steepware uses a lead-based solder. This type of seal is fairly standard across this industry outside of a few notable exceptions like Owala and Hydro Flask. However, even if Steepware uses a lead-based solder, realistically there is an extremely small probablility that you would ever have an issue with lead unless your bottle was severely damaged, and in that case you would likely need a new bottle anyways because the insulation is probably lost and the bottle would be very dented and wobbly.
- Do Steepware bottles fit in cupholders? | Yes, the 22oz Steepware will fit in the majority of cupholders, but be sure to measure yours first to make sure because all cup holders are different.
