Sugart iTea Wand

Sugart's innovative iTea wand is a single serving tea package with a built in filter system. It is designed to just drop into hot water and brew. The filtration system allows the tea leaves' flavor carrying fats and oils to be dispersed into hot water, allowing a more intense flavor than traditional oil absorbing tea bags.

mmm.....don't know if i want to be drinking tea that has fats in them...i didn't know that tea HAD fat....

Interesting concept, but which is the dimension of the tea bag? Maybe a little bit over packed..i hope that the secondary wrap would not be present if the product is sold in multipacks..

I would be willing to give it a try, but I think that the glacine outer packaging is a mismatch for the modern-looking metallic tea bag. Something opaque may have worked better, and the logos on the outer and inner packaging are all different. Almost looks like two different products.

@Carla - I agree that the leaves may be a bit squished at the bottom...

Also, I wonder if this is an improvement over, for example, biodegradable mesh tea bags, which would also not absorb these mysterious flavor-packed fats and oils...

I like how "just drop into hot water and brew" is somehow a new tea bag feature!

It's hard to see from the picture how long it is. Will its top stick out of the cup?

I agree with private label - at least tea bags as we know them can be added to the compost heap to break down naturally. I assume that these - each silver wand in an individual wrapper - will be sold in multipacks, making at least 3 layers of packaging? To me, that's too much non-recyclable wrapping: it looks striking, but the product is not an improvement on what we already use.
