Food Gadgets: Teastick

teastick
“This is what happens when designers and connoisseurs meet for tea,” or so I’m told by Gamila, makers of the Teastick.

Basically, the mesh portion slides back, allowing you to scoop your tea, seal it up, and then steep it. Not a bad little deal if you don’t already have some sort of tea infuser. One drawback, it seems, would be that the infusing chamber is sort of small, and it might not allow some teas to “unfurl” properly. If you’re brewing something like gunpowder or dragon pearls, you might not get the full brewing experience. Again, I haven’t tried the Teastick, so I can’t say for sure.

I can imagine it would make an elegant service in a restaurant or tea shop though.

Plus if I'm using nice tea (I usually use lipton tea bags for a daily infusion of tea-caffeine) I would rather let it infuse in water with no restriction, and strain into the cup. Whatever....
