I CAN BE SO USEFUL TODAY!!!
The Libre Tea Mug has the exact same design as the mug you describe, but has glass on the inside, and plastic on the outside. Here's a video. There's a 10 oz version and a 14 oz version, and a 9.5 oz handled version.
However, I bought one of these and decided it's not the best thing in the universe. There were plenty of good things about it, but it had some flaws:
Aesthetic problems:
I can't really recommend it, but if you've used the Activitea and found it usable, you might be happy with the Libre. The design looks pretty much the same from the photos, as far as I can tell. But I have continued searching for the perfect tea mug.
Contenders thus far:
I've been shopping around for quite some time. These are the two winners as far as I am concerned, though they skip out on being see-through and hiding the tea in the lid, but I can't see any well-designed options out there with those traits (although this Thermos mug has the infuser in the lid, but I wasn't so excited about it), so I'm giving my seal of approval to these. There are other contenders I think, but these are equal or better compared to anything I can find. I might also just go with a Contigo and brew in a teapot and just deal with the fact that the mug has no internal tea infuser.
OCD FTW!
Just go out and buy a cheap kettle ($10 or so) and keep it in your room/kitchen. I used to fill mine up from the bathroom sink I had in my room. Makes tea at breakfast time, and makes the water for instant noodles at lunchtime. And then at dinnertime it makes the water for instant noodles again.
Ninja edit: This was with simple tea bags but you can get thermos cups with loose leaf mesh things that fit inside. You can take your thermos of tea to your 8am class that way (I've put mine on my bike and ridden 25 mins to uni and the tea was still hot)

I love my Nissan Thermos and post it all the time.
I use this one and like it a lot.
Could you just use the cafeteria's hot water to steep your tea? This thermos with an infuser also comes to mind if you go with the cafeteria's hot water.
It’s not perfect, but this has been one of my favorite tumblers:

It keeps the water at scalding and has two inner lids to choose from. The strainer lid is for me too small to do a regular steep, so I will either pre-steep, pour in, and use the standard drink lid, or add the leaf directly to the tumbler and drink using the strainer lid.

I have that one. It's great, and keeps liquid so warm that I usually have to let it sit open for a while to even make it drinkable. The only problem for me is that the filter is a separate piece and if you want to keep your leaves for a second resteep then that means finding a place to store it in your bag/backpack when its hot and wet. Thats why I'm considering buying the below one.

Some that I know of:
Number One - Good price, great insulation (Thermos brand), but the basket is pretty tiny
Number Two - I've heard good things in general about Davids Tea's selection, lots of options
Number Three - Heard a lot of praise for these, but not sure if /u/puerh_lover will be getting any more in stock
Number Four - These are also nice pieces, only one here that I have had experience with personally. Basket on this one is on the smaller end to, but its not too tiny
Hope this helps!
I use this one.

It is the same one that they sell at Teavanna, but isn't as nice a color. However, it is much cheaper, so there is that.
I like my tea the temperature of the sun and ceramic can never hold heat long enough. A double-walled stainless steel thermos is where it's at.
The cup as a lid isn't hard to find in the least, nor is one with a strainer. It's just finding them both in one package that's tough.

I got mine at Teavana. Amazon carries the same one here http://www.amazon.com/Thermos-12-Ounce-Stainless-Steel-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B00004S1CV/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1449560546&sr=8-3&keywords=thermos+tea+tumbler
I've had this one for a few years. It does. Not. Leak. It's wonderful! Keeps my tea hot for hours, super durable.
Edit: damn amazon links get me every time.
My wife has the Nissan Thermos 12-oz tea tumbler amazon link. It does have an infuser basket which is why we got it, as we usually drink loose tea. It has very efficient gaskets in the lid & infuser and will never leak (if the lid's on correctly, which can be tricky). The only drawback is that the volume is a bit small.
Nissan travel mugs are the best. THE BEST. I've used two different ones, and they have both astounded me. My coffee will sit in a cold winter car for 24 hours, and still be warm. Not even close to hot, mind you, but warm to the tongue. It literally defies reason.
GET A NISSAN TRAVEL MUG and never go back.
Edit: Apparently they are owned by Thermos? These are the two I've used...

I use this one and completely love it. I've tried others and nothing has worked so well. It has two separate pieces, one infuser and one sipping top, so you just swap them out when your tea is done brewing.
This is the one I have that I really like http://www.amazon.com/Thermos-12-Ounce-Stainless-Steel-Tumbler-Infuser/dp/B00004S1CV. The lid isn't meant to be a strainer lid but it can totally be used that way!
wow, that aladdin page is terrible marketing
no photo where the tea basket goes, water fills, etc.
it just looks like a double insulated plastic cup with lid.

BTW this demo person lies about a 2 hour warm time,
that duration is simply not possible with 2 wall plastic.
2 wall is to protect your hand, not keep the tea warm.

to keep tea hot 2hrs you need a "travel mug" which is
basically a heat sink metal surrounded by insulation.
i don't like this product either, because combining
seeping and travel mug is a bad idea. you should
make your tea, then carry it in an insulated tube,
two steps two vessels.
