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!!

I completly agree.... I LOVE sitting down haveing tea from a teapot in the sunshine... nothing beats it!

i am a tea addict. bad mood, headache, anything and a cup of english breakfast brings me back again. but please people, a strainer takes all of about 10 seconds to use!

hahahaha...it looks like weed....it could be a special weed hider-stick thing!!

ewww ... it looks unhygienic. have people really gotten that lazy out there? sometimes all you have to do is put a tea bag in the cup and pour hot water in it... :S

Yep, it sort of looked to me like some super-modern pregnancy test.. hmm.. :S
