Move over, Mrs. Doyle: The era of aerosol tea has begun




tea

Tea in a pressurized container.

That’s what the world has come to, the pinnacle of the lazy man hubris. No more ritualistic and quasi-obsessive tea-making. This is the coup de grace to the tireless search for the perfect cuppa, fit for royalty. In the year of our Lord of 2016, just tilt the can, point the nozzle at an empty mug, and press down. That’s it.

Aptly, and ominously dubbed ‘No more tea bags,’ this UK-born aberration is a tea aficionado’s worst nightmare. It marks a dramatic departure from the days of yesteryear, when partners the world over sought to vow their other halves with a cup of tea made with love and attention. These days are gone. Now, just tilt and press. Aseptic, quick, and painless.

At least, No More Tea Bags comes in different flavours, including Jasmine and Early Grey tea, in an attempt to conceal its demolishing blow to afternoon rituals the world over.
