Do you think these would work to hold hot tea? Maybe they would get too hot to hold?

I would imagine they would get too hot to hold - we only use them for chilled or room-temp beverages. But, you could get or make some kind of cozy to keep the heat from your hand...

They would probably be too hot, but maybe you could find or make a sleeve for them. Not sure how the copper would alter the taste of tea.

I think they would hold a cup of water. They work very well. They are a little on the thin side but they do hold up overnight.

These cups are very good for tea. We use them for both hot and cold drinks.

I wouldn't use them for boiling hot items...they do go through the dishwasher safely and leave no tastes

They probably would be hot as they are not a light weight material. They are very durable though. Hope this helps.

I do not think so. They are heavy paper and insulated. They are good for hot coffee and tea though.

The cup would hold hot beverages just fine, but copper is a great conductor of both cold and heat. I just put some HOT water in a mug and within 30 seconds the cup as well as the handle became too hot to hold. If you were to wear an oven mitt while drinking your hot tea or coffee you should be just fine, but for bare handed use I would not advise it!

They don't get that hot. not at all. You can hold them in ur hand and be fine

I think they could maybe handle it in that they wouldn't melt, but they are really thin plastic and would be uncomfortable to hold when really warm. Personally I wouldn't chance it. They're really bad quality.

I have their metal containers for hot beverages. I wouldn't use it for hot beverages for 2 reasons: First, if they don't melt the plastic, they wouldn't maintain their heat; and second, you'd probably burn your hand. I'm sure they are meant solely for non-hot liquid. Their metal containers keep liquids hot for more than an hour!

I have never used them to keep something warm. I only use them to carry my water bottle around. Sorry!

I bought these as gifts, but I don't see any reason why not to be able to use them for hot liquids. I can tomatoes and jams in boiling water - why not tea?

Yes, they do get hot, but maybe it is because I have a gas range. We do have to use pot holders.

These are made of tempered glass, so yes - they're fine for hot beverages. However, since you have no handle, the glass will be pretty hot.

I would not use these with a hot beverage. They get super cold (colder than the beverage) with cold beverages. Using them with hot beverages could result in burned lips.

I haven't personally used them for hot beverages, but if you're looking for an alternative to plastic, I know that glass mugs designed specifically for hot beverages are available. I'll brew a pot, and pour it in the glass and confirm whether or not it can withstand high temps. Great question.

They're paper so use, you could stir hot beverages. BUT, I would imagine it would tend to 'wilt' them.
