Does this need to happen?


No time to make hot tea? Take a pill
Tue Mar 22, 2:45 AM ET

JORHAT, India (AFP) – Indian scientists said they have developed a “tea pill” which can be carried in the pocket to be chewed when desired for the same refreshing effect as a freshly-brewed cuppa.

The four-member team based in the northeastern state of Assam — the heart of the country’s tea industry — said the pill was ready but it would take six months to be available commercially.

“The pill is absolutely safe, (it) can be chewed or placed under the tongue,” Mridul Hazarika, director of the Tocklai Experimental Station, told AFP.

It can also be enjoyed in the “conventional manner by dipping the tablet in a cup of hot water,” Hazarika said.
