How Do You Do Your Tea-Bagging?

How do you normally put your tea-bag into the mouth of your mug? I assume, like most, that you take your plain old sack of tea and just dip it in, until you feel about ready to pull out, according to your tastes and preferences. Ladies and Gentlemen, I have stumbled upon (quite literally, using Stumbleupon...or is that figuratively since I didn't actually physically stumble? Perhaps we'll discuss this in another blog post) a website which could quite possibly change the way you tea drinkers out there do your tea-bagging. Or, at the least, it will show you some unique ways in which your tea can be brewed. For example, the Cigarettea (pictured above), which can give you some serious "writer in an independent coffee shop" cred (or set off the gag-reflexes of unaware onlookers). Others include a bamboo(?) whisk-like object, which is designed to eliminate the need for a stirring spoon by combining it with the tea. A hybrid origami crane/tea bag will bring you whatever kind of luck an origami crane my have straight to your mouth with every sip. Heck, maybe if you drink a thousand of those, you can make a wish. Or not. There's a good amount more if you are interested in more non-traditional tea-bag tweaking technology. Happy tea-bagging, friends.
