The tea bag is, in my not so humble opinion, one of the greatest inventions, ever. Especially if living or traveling in the USA where the ability to obtain a decent cup of tea is about as rare as rocking horse droppings. All you do is ask your server for an empty tea pot. Then ripping open the tea bag (in much the same way Sepoys were asked to rip open cartridges, but without quite the same knock on effect) one dumps the pre-measured contents into the pot and sends it back for water straight from the espresso maker, and viola! a cuppa.

Much easier than carting around a box of loose tea.
