The tea bag is something that doesn’t get much press. (remember when Tetley launched an ad campaign promoting it’s circular tea bags, the first time such a thing was seen in the US?) It’s pretty much just a method of getting your water all brown and tasty, without getting bits of leaves stuck in your teeth.

But a new innovative design has emerged. No word on whether or not it actually makes the tea tastier, but rather it seems to alleviate the terrible fate of loosing your bag in the tea and having to fish it out.

Many tea bags are designed to float, making a string extraneous. Those are the ones I like. The ones from Waitrose, for example.
