"tea bag" news and stories

Have limited time or fridge space but love iced tea? Brew up some iced tea essence.

Are you the type of person who just happens to love tea and penguins? Have I got a product for you.

It's the Penguin Teaboy, a cute little item you can put on your kitchen counter or table. You hang a teabag from the penguin's beak and set the timer and the little guy lowers the tea bag into the water until you have a perfect cup of tea. You can set it for as short a time as 1 minute (if you like it weak) or as long as 20 (which will be stronger but I assume...colder?). It doesn't look like it works with loose tea.

I don't think the penguin has a name, but if I buy one I'm going to call it "Clyde."

We have seen a couple of interesting mugs in the past, but the design of this one really strikes a chord with me because I drink quite a bit of tea. This tea bag mug is designed with a pocket built right into it for your tea bag - a convenience when you prefer to use a sturdier mug for hot drinks in the evenings, rather than a cup and saucer. If you're not into tea, or brew yours with loose-leaf tea instead of bagged, you can put the pocket to use in other ways. It can be used to hold packets of sugar or sweeteners when serving to guests and can even hold a small cookie or two. But ultimately, this is a nice, large mug for a tea-lover and probably a must-have for those who really love Lipton or other bagged teas.
