Tea Blog

The season for giving gifts has officially come and gone but that doesn’t mean we can’t pass along some info on the latest crop of tea gadgets. Because it’s always the season for tea gadgets.

For most of us, tea and rock and roll are probably not subjects that crop up in the same thought. But that might change once you get a load of these Sex, Tea and Rock n Roll Tea Bags from Donkey Products, a German company. Among the artists featured, Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Michael Jackson and Bob Marley. They’ve also got a series that focuses on such classic movie stars as Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, John Wayne, and Charlie Chaplin.

Speaking of tea bags, what do you do with a wet, mushy tea bag after you’ve used it to make tea? Well, if you’ve got a Tea Bag Coffin this is an issue that will never trouble you. It’s a rather clever idea that belongs in the Why Didn’t I Think of That category.

If you’d like to simplify the process of making tea – which is pretty darned simple to start with, as a matter of fact – you could go with one of the many automatic tea making gadgets that are currently on the market. Or you could go with a middle of the road solution like an electric tea kettle. Like this sleek, reasonably priced model from Krups.

From our Weird and Wacky Teaware bureau comes this stackable Tea Tower that contains all of the teaware you need to serve tea. Will the cleverness never cease? Probably not.

Green tea incense doesn’t quite qualify as a gadget but it’s an interesting notion nonetheless. You may or may not have any luck finding such a product on the market but if you don’t, you need not despair. Recipes abound. Who knew?
