Safety Information — Please Read Before First Use
The CHILL Mason Jar Infusion Kit  ·  Snarky Tea, LLC  ·  snarkytea.com

Glass Jar — Thermal Shock

  • This kit contains a glass jar. Glass can crack or break if exposed to sudden temperature changes.
  • Always pre-warm your jar before adding warm or hot liquids. Fill with warm tap water for 60 seconds, then empty before brewing.
  • Never use boiling water. Maximum brewing temperature is 145°F (62°C). DO NOT EXCEED.
  • Never add hot liquid to a cold jar.
  • Inspect your jar before every use. Do not use if cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way.
  • Never handle jar when hot. Handle glass with care. Use the neoprene sleeve or a towel when holding jar.

Filter Handle — Secure Before Use

  • Always ensure the jar handle is screwed on completely and securely before lifting by the handle.
  • An unsecured handle can detach unexpectedly, causing the filter and contents to fall.
  • Never lift or carry the jar by the handle until you have confirmed it is fully tightened.
  • Always remove the filter completely from the jar before pouring.
  • When carrying or transferring the jar, always support the underside with your other hand. Do not carry by the handle alone, especially when the jar is full.

Neoprene Sleeve

  • The sleeve is designed to reduce condensation and provide grip only.
  • It does not provide full heat protection.
  • Do not place any component of this kit in contact with warm or hot liquids regardless of whether the sleeve is in place.

Pouring Lid & Filling

  • This lid is not airtight. Do not shake or invert the jar while the lid is in place.
  • Do not use to seal carbonated or pressurized liquids.
  • Do not fill jar beyond the recommended fill line when using warm or hot liquids. Overfilling may cause liquid to overflow when the filter is inserted.

Cleaning & Care

  • Hand wash filter, lid, and sleeve only.
  • Do not place any component in the dishwasher.
  • Do not microwave this jar or any component of this kit.
  • Inspect filter mesh regularly for damage. Do not use if mesh is torn or compromised.

Children & Supervision

  • Keep out of reach of children during use and while jar contains hot or warm liquids.
  • Do not allow children to handle the jar unsupervised when in use.

⚠ Cooling — Allow Jar to Cool Before Adding Room Temperature Water, and refrigerating

  • After steeping with hot water (approx. 145°F), allow the jar to cool on the counter before adding room temperature water
  • Do not add cold water to a jar that is still hot — sudden temperature changes can cause the glass to crack or break or shatter and result in injury.
  • Always use room temperature water when topping up your jar. Do not use cold, refrigerated, or ice water.
  • Never place a hot jar directly into the refrigerator.

Allergen Notice & Food Safety

  • This kit includes loose leaf tea. Review all ingredients listed on your tea packaging before consuming.
  • Do not consume if you have a known allergy to any listed ingredient.
  • Always store in the refrigerator.
  • Consume within 3–5 days of brewing. Discard immediately if color, smell, or taste seems off.
