Tea Stick Makes Loose Leaf Brewing Simple

Boing Boing:

“Ayn writes:

My roommates and I are big-time tea drinkers,
and this device looks amazing.  It’s a perforated cylinder that you can
put loose tea into and then stir into your cup of hot water.  $20 seems
a little expensive, but the design is really appealing.

It’s called the “Tea Stick” and its by Chiasso. It’s even spring-loaded to make it snappier to pop open the chamber.

Ayn’s not the only one who wants one, it seems—they’re backordered until the 5th of December.

It’s sort of like the mate drinker’s bombilla, except in reverse. For my loose leaf tea making, I use a simple bamboo tea strainer
that I buy at local stores for less than a buck, slipping a toothpick
into the outside weave so I can prop it on the edge of a big mug.”
