Hello, I have a question about the steeping process that maybe you
fine folks could help me with.

I suppose it is the case for most, but when I drink tea at home, I
prefer to enjoy my tea in a calm place; usually either at the dinner
table or in my living room. For large brewings this isn't a problem.
But I am mostly a chinese tea drinker, and I usually drink them either
gongfu style or with the help of a zhong, so I'm doing many small
infusions. I find it quite bothersome to drink my small tea cup, walk
back to the kitchen reheat the water a few seconds in the electric
kettle to raise it back to the right temperature and re-steep my tea.

Is there any more elegant solution to bring water with me at a
reasonably hot temperature so that I can at least make a few infusions
without having to re-heat my water? I'm thinking maybe a thermos, but
I'm not sure it would be able to keep it hot enough (10 degrees are
not too important for a coffee or a soup, but quite so for a tea).
