In Greek mythology, Hestia was the goddess of the hearth — the sacred flame at the centre of the home that never went out. She was the keeper of warmth, the guardian of domestic ritual, the deity who made a house feel like a home. It is the most fitting name for a glass that does exactly the same for your tea. The Astraea Hestia is a 250ml double wall borosilicate glass with a vacuum bamboo lid fitted with a silicone sealing loop. The double wall construction keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold significantly longer than a standard glass — and the bamboo lid takes that further, sealing in the temperature and keeping everything fresh between sips. Your tea stays at the right temperature. The bugs stay out. The moment stays yours. The drink appears to float inside the glass — that characteristic optical effect of double wall construction — making every pour look as beautiful as it feels. The bamboo lid adds a warm, natural contrast to the clear glass that is as pleasing aesthetically as it is practically useful. Use it as your morning tea glass that you can set aside, covered, while you get ready. Take it to your desk. Put it on your kitchen counter and let it stay there because it looks too good to put away. Named after the keeper of the eternal flame. Built to keep your cup warm as long as you need it.
