As anyone who watches Dragon Den will know, sometimes you come across a product that goes out to solve a problem that doesn’t really exist.

And you might think that canned tea is one such product.

Yes, you read that right.

No More Tea Bags are a range of aerosol-style cans of high quality liquid tea, which aim to solve the problem of soggy tea bags and excessive brewing time.


All you have to do it squirt the foam into a mug, add hot water (and milk/sugar, depending on taste) and you have ‘the perfect cup of tea’.

Ever heard of making a cup of tea without teabags?! Then you haven't tried 'No More Tea Bags' #nomoreteabags #cuppa pic.twitter.com/YuNduvE3IG — YumChaDrinks (@YumChaDrinks) September 5, 2016

‘What wrong with the good old tea bag?’ you might ask.



According to the product’s inventor, Guy Woodall, we all waste too much time brewing our teas and fiddling around and dispensing with soggy bags.

‘The convenience of not having to sit around and wait for your tea to brew is a major selling point, but the technology we’ve used enables us to produce a tea that we believe is a far superior taste to an ordinary tea bag,’ he says.

The average tea drinking brews their cup for just 13 seconds apparently, which Guy claims isn’t anywhere near long enough to appreciate the full flavour.

No More Tea Bags, however, is brewed for five minutes and all you need to do is add more or less of the canned substance to vary the strength.

As well as black tea, there are also cans of Earl Grey and Jasmine Green. Each can contains 20 cups of ‘hotter, tastier tea’.

As you can imagine, the idea is being met by some with confusion, hostility and anger.
