Having become accustomed to drink warmers that rely on USB or other high-tech connectivities to keep warm beverages heated, I found myself rather entranced by the idea of this Coffee/Hot Chocolate Warmer Mug Set which uses a low-tech solution, fire, to do the very same. (Hey, sorry Prometheus, I know it was the latest and greatest when you came down from Olympus, but it's all but outmoded now. Let me know when it can be used to give me a massage and operate a lava lamp and we'll talk.) With this mug, you just pop a tea-light under your warm beverage of choice, to keep it "warmer longer." Since it is a tea-light being used, I'm quite sure this will be functional for tea as well, despite the distinct lack of mention in the product name.
The mug retails for £18, and comes with a stainless steel spoon/drinking straw.
