Steep Design by Parker Hutchinson
"This is what happens when designers and connoisseurs meet for tea," says Gamila Design, creators of The Tea Stick. Touted as one of the most operative ways to brew a perfect cup, this stainless steel device beats out both paper tea bags and "pour-over" steeping systems in both ease of use and sleek sexiness. It's a simple mechanism with no breakable parts; scoop the tea into the bottom, slide down the grate and drop it into piping hot water from your kettle or microwave. It fits stylishly in most cups or mugs, and is a cinch to clean. It's available from Gamila for $19.95, with wholesale offers for large orders.

Sorapot
Tea is a very ritualistic pleasure. I still refuse to buy those efficient electric kettles because the process of setting the kettle to boil and the impending urgent whistle are aspects of tea consumption that set my day in motion. Joey Roth's Sorapot embraces the ritualistic aspects of tea drinking with its clear container for viewing the tea leaves as they seep into the...

Drop Stop Tea Strainer
A great solution to the age-old problem of where to put the tea bag or strainer after steeping tea, the Drop Stop Tea Strainer is the a clever all-in-one solution. Though there's a certain charm to vintage "I will hold the tea bag" dishes the Drop Stop is an elegant, clutter reducing approach to the dilemma. The stainless steel strainer hangs on the rim while...

True Lemon/True Lime
We were hesitant to try these little packets. We stared at the boxes for a few days. We finally tried them out in water and in some tea, and we were surprised—shocked really—at how impressive they were. Made from lemon or lime juice and lemon/lime oil (and not much else) these lemon/lime "substitutes" do a pretty good job of flavoring up your favorite drinks....

Big Head Coasters
j-me was founded by 2 brothers, Mark and Jamie who created these Big Head Coasters. They're stackable either laying down or standing up. A pack contains 4 coasters, 2 boys and 2 girls. I can't think of a more pleasant way to wake up than to pin one of those big headed boys or girls with my cup of tea. Serves them right for...

Nespresso Romeo
Shakespeare's influence continues to impress me. Imagine Juliet (as a Nespresso pod of coffee) standing on her balcony, calling out to her beloved (coffee cup?). Such is the inspiration for the hip design of Nespresso's newest high end machine. Simply pop a Nespresso pod with your preferred roast in the balcony, select the type of espresso/coffee you're in the mood for, and within a...
