Review: I actually came across these nifty little things at last year's Fancy Food Show...this time around I managed to take one home for review. This tea stick, which looks like aluminum foil with little holes in it (though it is slightly more hearty than thin aluminum) allows the tea to expand upwards without creating a mess or stifling the flavor.
The only thing I don't like about these sticks are that when the tea is fully steeped, you cannot squeeze it. There is no way to get the water that doesn't drip naturally out of it. If you squeeze too hard, the bottom of the stick (which is folded metal) unfolds and the leaves will spill into your water. So, while I admit that this is an awesome (and very un-messy) tool, it doesn't give you the ability to squeeze the last remaining flavor out of the tea leaves.
In any event, the tea itself is delicious. This mango monsoon is overwhelmingly flavorful and sweet, with strong, crisp black tea and a very nice fruity aroma. This tea has a bit more of a fruity aftertaste than most mango tea, which I really like (though as I've said before mango is quite an overused flavor). It's not too strong, but has enough black tea astringency to allow enjoyment for people who are drinking for tea quality versus added flavor. Overall, surprisingly good tea, with lots of fruity flavor in a very cool, useful and unmessy stick.
Pros: great tool for cleanly brewing tea, nice mango flavor, good tea
Cons: impossible to squeeze tea leaves at the end of brewing

I never knew that there is an option to tea bags. Your Tea Sticks truly set a new standard in tea drinking. Pairing tea with food is brilliant and so are your flavored teas. I tried your Café Latte tea and I don’t think I’ll ever go back to coffee.

| Tea, the Healthier Option to wine | | Monday, 01 January 2007 | | Health Benefits | |
| Tea provides an extensive range of tastes, similar to that of wine but without the associated alcohol. In fact tea accompanies food so much better than wine does. Wine has the tendency to over power the flavor of the food and you cannot drink much without feeling tipsy by the end of your meal. In contrast teas flavor can delicately pair with the food without over powering it and allows you to drink as much as you want without needing a designated driver.Pairing tea with food need not be a tiresome experience of researching volumes of ‘tea connoisseurs’ manual’. A simple thumb rule is to follow the basics of ‘Wine & Food pairing’.
Foods such as seafood, salads and fruit that are normally paired with white wines go perfectly well with green teas. A pleasant surprise here is that the green teas are also great with deep fried food because these teas ‘cut thru’ the fat and lessens your chance of indigestion. Japanese teas like Sencha or Genmaicha go perfectly with seafood and rice dishes. Chinese greens like Dragon well and Jasmines are a little stronger in flavor and have a stronger aroma which pairs well with Salads and Chicken dishes.
Black teas pair well with foods that are normally paired with red wines like meat, curries, and desserts. Black teas are rich and full bodied teas with pronounced tannins which hold up well with richly flavored foods. Black teas pair especially well with chocolates and desserts with chocolate.
Oolongs come somewhere in between Black and Green teas. Like green teas, very lightly oxidized Oolongs (Wu-long or green Oolongs) go well with foods that are normally paired with white wine. While like black teas, Oolongs that are medium to dark oxidized are a perfect pairing for Chinese, Thai and grilled foods that go well with red wine. This is so because darker Oolongs have a pronounced toastiness and are very full flavored.
