Tea is a drink that's been beloved by people for over thousands of years, so it's no surprise that as human civilization progresses, so too does the need for people to create some nifty tea innovations.
From robotic tea bags to tiny teabag totes, the soothing beverage has truly been brought into the modern ages. One of the more popular gimmicky tea innovations to have come along is the Mr. T teapot, which comes with a detachable cup and top. Then there are tea innovations that have benefited other disciplines, such as teapot-inspired gardening tools. My favorite tea innovation though has got to be personified tea boxes, which feature quirky packaging to go along with the kooky tea flavors of Gorgeous Geisha, English Breakfast, Chai and French Earl Grey.
