There Is A US President In My Tea Cup
Here’s one of those simple, zowielala inventions that will make some people smile. The ones who matter, anyway: Those who love tea. And tea parties. With rainbow cookies and carrot cake. And jacuzzis too. And famous people in their cups.
These are made by German design company Donkey Products. They come in three sets, each with five bags: RoyalTea, DemocraTea, and StripTea.
Yes, I know my dear tea purists. Having had an English wife for a long time, I know that you don’t put the tea bag in the cup full of hot water, but you pour the boiling water over the bag in the empty cup. However, I’m counting that these have cords like every normal bags, and that you just hang the Queen there when the time is right (and while I’m against monarchy, I mean that in the nicest way possible. You know I still love you, Liz. Don’t stop inviting me to Windsor for this. Come on. Yes? No teabagging involved, promised). [Direct Daily]

Actually tea purists (like me) will tell you that we only drink leaf tea since tea bags just taste of paper bag, not tea.
Interesting anecdote:
Having lunch in a small cafe I ask the waitress what leaf teas they have.
“We have all the Twinings Teas” she says proudly. “Great” I say, “I’ll have Sezchuan then”.
“Oh, sorry, we don’t have that one” she says with embarrasment. “That’s okay” I reply, “I’ll have China Black instead.”
“Um, sorry, we don’t have that either” she says.
I then proceed to name a couple of other more common black chinese teas, none of which they have. I then ask her what ones they do actually have. She names just three of the common ceylon teas.
So much for having all of the (probably hundreds) of Twinings Teas!
Cheers,
