What's Happened to Tea
Written by Tania Braukamper
I came across an article on Product Dose about the Postmodern Utilo Tea Stick. You basically throw in some loose tea and drop the stick into a cup of water - a really lazy way to make tea. The stick is described as being made of "the brand's distinctively bold stainless steel"... Uh, what modern kitchen appliance isn't made from stainless steel these days?
I can't help but find it all very wrong. Sure, it's a handy idea. But tea should NEVER involve stainless steel, of any kind.
Pewter, yes. Silver, of course. Find bone china - most definitely! But not stainless steel.
Tea is a historical and cultural institution - bring back the good old-fashioned tea-pot!!

There aren't too many alpha-females out there and, though she might deny it, Tania Braukamper certainly exudes their qualities. A keen eye, a focused approach, and a wardrobe spanning three rooms have made her one of the savviest of dressers. But it's not all couture for Tania, earning her fashionista credentials she'll frequently be seen on the town in a one-off, vintage dress and a pair of Gucci heels.
She says: Vintage will never go out of style
We say: Does that include vintage 80s?
