Looking for a year for the perfect water bottle. The purpose was to infuse crystals. When I saw the sacred geometry on the bottle, which is also inscribed on the filter and cage, I knew this was the one. It has a basket for tea, or just a strainer if you want to leave the tea loose. I cleanse my crystals, add them to the basket....let my water charge over night and have perfect crystal water in the morning. Later in the day, I have a nice tea. The cover that comes with it is very handy, and keeps your bottle a little safer. Be careful, it is thin. Not cheap thin, but since it is double walled, I would be very careful. Overall, I give this a 10. The thought and quality that went in to producing this beautiful bottle is evident.
