In Greek mythology, Aura was the Titan goddess of the breeze and the fresh, cool air of early morning — the invisible presence that arrives before the sun, that freshness you feel the moment you step outside before the day begins. It is the most fitting name for a morning cup. The Astraea Aura is a 350ml borosilicate glass infuser cup that comes with a glass infuser and a glass lid — three pieces of the same pure material, working together to give you the cleanest, most transparent brewing experience possible. Watch your tea steep in real time through the glass walls. Watch the colour bloom as the leaves open. The Aura is designed so that you can see the tea getting brewed live — and that visibility changes the ritual entirely. The glass infuser sits inside the cup and holds your loose leaf tea while hot water flows through, extracting everything the leaf has to offer. When the steep is done, remove the infuser, close the lid, and drink. No strainer. No mess. No compromises. At 350ml it is the perfect everyday cup — enough for a generous morning serve or a long, slow afternoon session. And because it is all borosilicate glass, it is heat resistant, scratch free, and entirely non-reactive — your tea tastes exactly like your tea, nothing added, nothing lost. Named after the goddess of the morning breeze. Built for the cup that starts your day right. Part of the Astraea Tea Crockery Collection.
