Right here.
I cannot speak highly enough for the travel mug by Teas Etc, I've had mine for over two years and plan to get another as a backup. I bought a little thermos sling for it to carry around with me, which more or less keeps it hot the entire day. But even without the sling, it still keeps hot for quite awhile. I really fell in love with it due to the design though. It being see through whenever I'm out with it people comment on it, either they want one or more likely they have never seen loose leaf tea before, so I usually point them in the right direction.
The trick to keeping it from over-steeping is to use less leaf and cooler water. For anyone thinking this is blasphemy, keep in mind that a good majority of green tea drunk daily in China is just thrown into a glass cup with water added to the same leaves as needed throughout the day.
I found this on Amazon
i use one of these with a built in strainer. Looks like the yellow one is the same thing.

It's a Tea's Etc. I've been thinking about getting one like this, however, it's made of plastic which turns me off.
I'm really tempted to get a Libre, which is made of plastic on the outside and glass on the inside, but the price is ludicrous.
I just bought this travel mug to make tea while I'm out ( http://amzn.com/B003FGW71G ) and the packaging said to steep less tea at a lower temperature in order to avoid oversteeping/bitterness, since the tea will be sitting in the mug the whole time you're drinking it. I used about 1.5 teaspoons of jasmine pearls and water that cooled for about 5 minutes from a boil (I was at a friends place so I didn't have an electric kettle or anything) and it tasted pretty bitter still; should I use even less tea/cooler water? Or do you guys have recommendations for better brewing methods with this type of mug?
I got it from Amazon. I actually have 2 because I accidentally ordered 2 but this is my favorite as well. My original one got destroyed in a car accident so I am very happy to have a new one!

Just a disclaimer, I love stronggg tea so I usually steep more than the average person hence why mine looks very leafy. Also I know most people don't drink it this way but I love that super fine strainer on top so I keep the leaves in instead of steeping for a certain amount of time. I find it also is a great aesthetic and fills me with peace. Another reason it's such a great tumbler. <3 So glad you like yours also!!!
I have one of these and it serves me well. I read about it on a thread of recommend containers. I'll see if I can dig it up.
Hey, I'm in the exact same kind of setup and just recently dumped soda for tea. There's a hot water spigot on our coffee machine that pumps water out at 200 deg F.
I got one of these: http://amazon.com/dp/B004PV6SXS?tag=dimwellnet-20
If you want something with a built-in infuser, try this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003FGW71G?tag=dimwellnet-20
Add that to a box of sample tea bags (I started with a Twinings sample box from Publix, I think) and you're ready to get started.
The mug linked above keeps everything nice and warm for an hour or so.
I'm sure that loose is measurably better, but I'm ignorant and bags are fine. Plus, it's easy to brew a bag while I'm on my way to a meeting and just drop the used bag into the trash before things get started.
I found a few:
Most fancy tea ware is overpriced but there seem to be many options here.
You can actually do this if you buy "roll your own" bags. Something like this:

But you will also need a grinder, or pre-ground beans, and in the end something like a portable french press or something like this:

Might work better.
