A vapor directing baffle for a beverage container. The combination of a beverage container and a tight fitting lid in combination with an internal baffle forces aroma laden vapor (located between the interior of the lid and the liquid surface of the beverage in the container) outward through openings in the lid, when the beverage container is tipped from the level position to the drinking position. This vapor pumping action places the outwardly flowing aroma beneath the nose of a user, thereby allowing the user to enjoy the aroma of the beverage.
