Can anybody recommend a good travel mug? Mine is starting to make everything taste skunky, and skunky tea is no way to start the day.

I assume you mean hot, not cold, but just in case: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=nalgene+fly
- They're diswasher safe (lids, too),
- They have nice wide necks to make washing easier/more effective,
- The lids are sturdy and secure without being impossible to open (the OTG lids, which fit the same size bottle and are cheaper, also break more easily. But they're still the best combo of secure/easy open that we've found.)
- They're made of nalgene, which means you can pour boiling water in them and they won't warp or crack. We've been doing it for over a year now -- making tea straight in the bottle for later use.

What they won't do is keep your hot tea hot, or keep you from burning yourself if you grab them while their contents are still near boiling temperature.

I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/Vandor-Wonder-12-Ounce-Ceramic-Silicone/dp/B007CAJL7O and it's awesome. (Comes in other designs, too, but I recommend the brand.)

I'm actually not very into the whole Teavana schtick, but these (http://www.teavana.com/tea-products/tea-cups-mugs/travel-tea-cups/p/teavana-contour-tumbler) are pretty decent travel mugs. Keep the tea hot forever, anyway, which is pretty much all I ask.

This one (http://www.amazon.com/Thermos-Nissan-12-Ounce-Stainless-Steel-Tumbler/dp/B00004S1CV/ref=sr_1_11?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1354560225&sr=1-11&keywords=thermos+travel+tumbler) is also excellent.

Those Contigo travel mugs they sell at Costco (and in a bunch of other places in the States, I assume) are amazing. They've got a lock on the spout so that you don't accidentally spray yourself (and the inside of your bag) with hot liquids, and they keep stuff hot for /hours/.

Like legit hot, to the point where I actually have to take the lid off during class to let the tea cool so I can drink it (I'm a wuss, it's well documented).

Only real downside is that the bodies are handwash-only, and unless you have freakishly small hands, you really need a scrub-brush to get into them. They're all metal, though, so they don't pick up tastes the way plastic does.

Fortunately, looks like the sell scrub brushes on the site! WHAT A COINCIDENCE
