☕️ How to fix the UX of tea

The tea-making heroes you didn't know you wanted until now.

Making tea can get a bit messy.

If you’re using a teabag, you have to find a place to get rid of this soggy fella:

While also making sure not to get any drops of dripping tea onto the table. Usually by wasting a perfectly good saucer to get the job done.

And if you’re adding sugar, you have to use a spoon - which you then have to dispose of and/or wash later.

Well, guess what.

Someone had enough of all that nonsense and decided to improve the user experience of making tea.

Introducing T-Sticks. (I know this reads like an ad, but promise I’m not getting paid).

I think you get the idea just from the image on the box. Which is the beauty of a nice illustration.

It’s a teabag. And a stirrer. All-in-one.

You just put it in your cup, add water, stir to your heart’s content, and then…you just toss it.

No dripping, no mess.

Genius.

Now let’s assume you also like a bit of honey to add to your (green) tea.

Anyone who’s ever had to deal with honey knows it’s a horrible, sticky mess.

The honey jar is inevitably chipp chipp, then you use a spoon to scoop out some honey, which takes an age to slow-drip into your cup.

And if you want a second dip of honey, you probably can’t use the spoon again if you dipped all of it into the tea.

🥁 Drum roll please. 🥁

Introducing the Honey Spoon.

No illustrations needed to describe this thing, it’s literally in the name: Honey Spoon.

Just peel off the seal, and you get exactly one spoon of honey in your tea, complete with the stirring solution built in.

Incredible.

So with the combined powers of the T-Stick and the Honey Spoon, you end up with this:

A bit quirky, sure, but no stickiness, no mess, and very satisfying.

And after all that, how does it taste?

Dunno. Like tea with honey in it, I suppose.
