To Go Tea Service

Anyone know a good way of doing a quality tea service to go?  What we want is to steep the tea in-house and separate the tea leaves after infusion, but still give the leaves to the customer to re-steep.  The special lids I've found only work if you have a tea bag attached to a string, which we don't want.

The best idea we've come up with so far is putting the steeped leaves at the bottom of a to-go cup, then nesting another cup with just the tea on top.  It just doesn't look very nice, and leaves the bottom of the tea cup soaked with tea juices.  Is there some other special cup/lid made for this purpose?
