Tea Cup
A cup made of tea flavored material | |
Considering the lack of time to do many necessary things due to
today's fast paced working environment any time and effort saving
device is very useful. For busy persons lacking time to brew tea with a
tea bag my invention comprises a tea-flavored cup whereby all that is
needed is hot water to
dissolve the tea flavored inner layer of the "Tea-
Cup. Because busy tea drinkers don't have time to add sugar or milk
to their cup of tea, once the hot water is poured into the "Tea-Cup" the
tea becomes available to consume.

[+] tentatively but do you mean a disposable cup ? in which case you'd probably want to save boiling time by incorporating something that heats up in contact with tap water. |
|
| |
You use purist and teabags in the same paragraph? Better prepare for a purist to come along and challenge you. Not me, of course, I'm a tea slut - I swallow the grounds. |
|
| |
Also, if you are filling your Thermos with tea, then don't you find that also carrying teabags is redundant? |
|
| |
A true purist will have a little wicker carrying case containing a charcoal stove, ceramic kettle, YiXing teapot and a sealed container of the finest leaves. He will ensure that his day is spent within easy reach of pure mountain streams where he or his servant can draw the water. |
|
| |
I'll be the one to say it: teabags are less of an inconvenience than carrying around a tea flavored cup, and does the world need more disposable crap lying around? |

I think I might have inadvertently baked the coffee version of this idea, as I haven't washed my coffee mug once, since the beginning of this deployment. |
|
| |
//teabags, a bottle of honey, and a teaspoon.//
So you have a thermos with tea in it. What in God's name is the honey for and why do you need extra tea bags? |
|
| |
Maybe there could be two of them. |
|
| |
God, that's what gets me about you bakers. You get
one little tea cup, and sure enough some greedy son
of a bitch wants another one. One is never enough
around here. Two of this, and two of
that...jeesh...when will it end??? (Sorry csea, just
thought I'd tease you a bit.) |

When your Main Sequence Primary consumes all of its lighter elements and slowly expands into a classic Red Giant, absorbing the inner planets one by one, then slowly cooling over aeons into a cold. dead dwarf star orbited by a few frozen, lifeless lumps of iron-silicate rock. |
|
| |
Does that answer your question ? |
|
| |
Might have been true, once, before wireless internet
access, but it'll take a lot longer, now. For better or
for worse, the halfbakery is traveling at lightspeed
into the cosmos. |

Cheapskates ... stuck in the slow lane. |

| |
I'm sorry, but adding honey to tea is simply
disgusting. It's BEE VOMIT, people! |
|
| |
Tea is best enjoyed on its own, unadulterated...
unsweetened... unmilked... unsullied. I can
understand why people add these things to cheap
tea, especially teabag tea, which tastes like paper. |
|
| |
It is my understanding that tea was consumed a little
differently in the US, prior to 1776, than we might
imagine. I believe it was steeped in water for some
time then the water drained and the leaves pressed
into cakes, with honey, then eaten. |

link, shows a possibility for this idea. |

The tea-purist's tea-purist, Nobel "Toby was
legendary; he held one of the most powerful
positions in the industry" Fleming, chief tea taster
for the Thomas J. Lipton Company, added milk. Still
reeling from that revelation. |
|
| |
Tea bricks have been around forever. Genghis Khan
and his men used them, as they allow a long-term tea
ration to be carried as an item, rather than in a
container. |
|
| |
The longer a meal or drink takes to prepare, the more time we have to think. Whilst many would scoff or outright deny the fact, arguably the success of the British empire perched on the act of, and meditation associated with, drinking tea. |
|
| |
The inventors of methods to hasten the ritual -- even if it delivers chemically an identical product -- seem to have missed the point. |
|
| |
That's one theory. Having the original tea drinking competition on opium probably didn't hurt either. Although you might be correct that the contemplation brought only by the consumption of tea could have concocted a plan so devious. |
|
| |
Tea is associated with ritual in many cultures, most
notably Japanese, where tea preparation and
consumption was raised to an artform in the 1600s. |

Love you too, [blissmiss]! Let's have a cup (or 2!?) next time you're on the West Coast. |
