- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -4/+53It took balls to post that.
- V5foundation, on 10/12/2007, -4/+48This brings a whole new meaning to the term "tea bag." ZING!
- gr8one, on 10/12/2007, -2/+27You guys are nuts.
- postitnote, on 10/12/2007, -6/+26Testicles.
- Berkana, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16For most people, tea makes them pee.
Perhaps you should brew your tea, rather than eating just the leaves straight. That'll solve your tea-induced poop problem. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Wow, it took them 100 years to come up with a new idea?
- zeptobyte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Harney and Sons is amazing. Highly recommend. I got my mom 5 of their loose tea samplers and a teapot for her birthday. Delicious, delicious tea. And no, I'm not saying this for any personal gain or due to any affiliations with the company. I just think they have amazing tea. I personally recommend chinese flower. And yeah, their sachets are really cool, too.
- rcomegys, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8We've actually had these tea bags, made by Lipton, in my office in Japan for many years now, I'm told. It's the only thing I drink at work, and I am pleased to say that it really is full leaf.
- WackyT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6PG Tips, an English tea brand, has been using pyramid tea bags for years.

Lame. - nreynolds, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7My #1 anyone?
- victorp, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8he thinks of these things sperm of the moment...don't EGG him on
- ByteGuerilla, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4There's a tea called Black Pearl? I have got to get myself some of that, or my name isn't Jack Sparrow.
- Siroro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"Search on google using the following: tea "laxative effect""
I'd really rather not. ;) - NightRush, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I love tea, You can drink it, anytime, any flavour, and its all good.
- doom.md, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I buy from Adagio, have been for almost two years now. The prices are good, the tea is very good, although not the best you can buy, but for the money it is exceptional. Favorites are Yunnan Gold, Silver needle, and Irish Breakfast and hell they advertise on diggnation and Ctrl Alt Chicken.

My favourite of the 'popular brands' here in England, nice and strong. Everyone I know from the UK that has tried Lipton 'Brisk' Tea in the States has said how weak it is. I always have to have 2 bags of the stuff when I'm over there. - kitchenni, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Not to say harney and sons isnt amazing, but if you want true high quality tea. Go to a local tea shop where they sell fresh leaves buy the quarter pound or larger. True you have to buy the strainer part or your own bags, but it blows brand name tea out of the water. and there are about a million different flavors to choose from.
- rcomegys, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2After I realized the quality was much better and the prices were comparable, I switched from Adagio to Peet's Tea. Oh, how I long for a cup of their unique blend called 'Pride of the Port'... *sigh*
- jayripley123, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3anyone here try the ingenuitea from adagio.com, it is by far the best way to brew loose tea. You must check it out to understand.
http://www.adagio.com/teaware/ingenuiTEA_teapot.html?SID=a247f7c6a0bf985accaadc62bee02375 - missflibbles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Um, all of them are flavored with fruit except for one of their black teas? Are there people who like that who are -actually- tea drinkers, and don't just want lemonade or orange juice?
Gross. The new bag is cool, but the flavors don't sound appealing at all. - jknevitt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2These crazy pyramid-shaped bags have been in Australia (produced by Lipton) for at least 5 or 6 years. Don't know if they're still there as I'm over here in the States now.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2As an expert in tea drinking, (I easily drink 20 cups a day) I've decided Yorkshire tea is the best, closely followed by Ringtons (I think also Yorkshire). And yes we've had all different shapes of teabags here for years - I don't think any makes a real difference to the taste.
I've been to a lot of countries and tea does not taste as good anywhere as it does here in England. I think the problem is you foreigners do not use proper pasteurized milk that comes from cows, its all that long-life processed *****. Also, you need to drink tea fresh - not from those tea maker machines like you get in restaurants & mc'ds. - kitchenni, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The high quality Lipton tea has been coming in these for awhile now. I know for sure "Black Pearl" does.
- Berkana, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3The shape isn't a pyramid: it's a tetrahedron.
(Unless a tetrahedron is a kind of pyramid. Last I remember, pyramids strictly have 4 sides.) - Buddhist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah I read this in the paper yesterday, the Food section is getting a lot of good stuff lately. They had something on the cappucino art trend that goes down in Brooklyn, it's really fun to do actually, but it takes some practice.
But yeah, i'm looking forward to them actually making good tea. There's been a ***** of time that I haven't drank anything but green tea from Trader Joe's just because it's such utter ***** in general.
^_^ Glee for tea! - drlha, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yes, both PG Tips (Brooke Bond) and Lipton are owned by Unilever.
- PCBuckman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Adagio has been using tea bags in this shape for a while now.
- rrrampant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+110 years. I think Lipton and PG Tips are owned by the same company, too. Pretty strange they've only thought to bring this to the states now
- AnalystX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So does "Vanilla Caramel Truffle" and I highly recommend it if you like caramel.
- hishuu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1it does seem somewhat retarded that this is an innovation - putting your wonderfully healthy loose-leaf tea in a non-biodegradable nylon bag. I mean, really, where is it going to go from there? landfill. and how long is it going to stay there? far longer than a paper teabag.
- HauntedMac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I am not a big fan of tea flavored with fruit but I do know many tea drinkers who do like that. I would take black tea over any fruity flavored tea any day. You don't see many articles like this on digg. Digg
- charlietuna, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nylon?
Wouldn't the natural macrobiotic homepathic whole foods crowd /prefer/ unbleached paper? I suspect it's the novelty of changing to something newer, hence "better".
The longer leaves are a good idea. - bitcloud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Tea Leoni's not that old (but i think the other accusations might be true)
- AnalystX, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I wouldn't claim to know gunit99's specific problem, but there are many teas that stimulate bowel movement. Search on google using the following: tea "laxative effect"
- mrbiggs1977, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Amen to that.. Yorkshire Tea powers me through the longest of late-night coding marathons, and I'm sure it must do less damage to your body than all the nasty caffiene potions you can get off Thinkgeek.
- unabashedguy, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1http://www.teaflection.com has a brand new bag
- BladeDanger, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The easiest way to get a better cup of tea is to (drum roll....) make it properly!
Here's Douglas Adams' advice, pointing out some easy and free points to make your tea positively stellar:

You're welcome! - molecule, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1poop happens.
- jguy584, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have had the tea that they show pictured in the article, and i must say it is truly unlike any tea i have had before, in a good way of course. Also the tea in the bags looks like poperee.
- B0jangles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1For the country that actually invented the teabag it seems that its taken them a while to get onto the pyramid bag that came out in Great Britain years ago.
Why you would want to make a bag out of nylon when paper is biodegradable. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1dugg for "old bag" in description
- lennon2600, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sweet jesus, it's a miracle. (Disclaimer: mm..just a bit of sarcasm here)
- Quash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1These bags do have a certain "cool factor" and could make loose teas very popular, which is great, as they're typically far superior than the dust and fannings found in store bought bags.
However, this is an even better solution:
http://digg.com/health/Tea_s_got_a_brand_new_bag_2
These are loose leaf tea bags that can take any loose leaf tea, allowing you to brew 1-2 cups with ease. They are cheap, available at most online and B&M tea shops and they will handle your tea of choices, whereas the pyramid bags will stick you with their teas, which could be old and stale. Just because it's loose, doesn't mean it's good.
Some good places to start in buying good loose leaf teas:
http://www.uptontea.com/
http://www.specialteas.com/
http://www.adagio.com/ - edzieba, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Tetly's in the UK also have had thse pyramidal teabags for more than 5 years now.
- Quash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Drat. Cut n' pasted the wrong link in the previous post.
Here is an example of the loose leaf bags you can use with any loose tea you purchase. This brand will be found at many tea stores but Adagio sells them at a good price.
http://www.adagio.com/teaware/paper_filters.html?SID=01f679b9e916551b419646cdd5dfdaf5 - TheBowerbird, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I accidently just dug you down, what an awesome link though!
- lopla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0call me paranoid but would dipping nylon in boiled water cause that to leach whatever chemicals are in the nylon to leecch into the tea? yuk..
- CircleFusion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Actually...most of my friends that regularly drink organic tea prefer buying bulk tea from the local healthfood store and using reusable cloth bags.
- molecule, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1i wonder if TWA will be stocking this...
I know plenty of folks are interested in TWA Tea. - CircleFusion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0oh another thing...
I lived in Tucson, AZ for a few years. There is this wonderful little asian tea house that sells japanese and chinese tea (mostly chinese) in bulk. It is called "7 cups". They have a lot of rare tea. You can buy the stuff online. I highly recommend "Li Li Xiang" which is an Oolong tea.
http://sevencups.com/
It is, of course, sold in bulk rather than in filter bags. -
