Bulbul and Lotus Infuser Mug

I bought this with the idea I could enjoy my tea at work. The holes are too large without an additional strainer. Add to that the heavy strainer displaces so much water I have to fill the mug way lower than expected. Huge waste of money and time. Very disappointed in this mug as a work mug and do not recommend it for this purpose. That said, it would be fine for home use or to pour already prepared tea into.

The ceramic is coarse, thick, heavy & not at all a pleasure to hold. The infuser doesn't rest firmly on the edge of the cup & some holes sealed are shut. So, the tea doesn't steep well & steam escapes. The cover wobbles on cup, so it doesn't fit the infuser nor the cup and the tea always gets cold before I finish my cup. The painting outside looks tacky, not at all like the picture on the site.
