The concept went through a few versions, but it really all came together in one day.\u00a0 The best balance for a new product is something simple that solves issues, but doesn\u2019t compromise on the end quality. And I think this checks all the boxes.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>DT: What makes the Iced Tea Press different from other travel mugs?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dave:<\/strong> I think one of the really exciting features is that it actually completely shuts off the tea infusion. That\u2019s big! Once the press is down, you can leave it there for ages and your tea won\u2019t oversteep.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>DT: Where would the Iced Tea Press fit into your daily life?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dave:<\/strong> As a non-coffee drinker, I\u2019ve started relying on it in the morning to jump start things with an iced mat\u00e9 or Japanese green tea. Before, I would have never taken the time. But because it\u2019s portable, I can stay refreshed beyond my desk and take it with me wherever I want.
