Adagio Tea's TriniTEA
I had long desired an automatic tea maker, as it has become quite clear that I am incapable of sitting still long enough to properly steep a pot of tea for the desired time period. So I had done research trying to find such an item, thinking that it CERTAINLY must exist somewhere, only to have been thwarted by finding only crummy models that used tea bags, didn't have a timer to choose steeping times, or was otherwise useless.
Imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon Adagio's TriniTEA. It's a really cool looking product, that looks like a space age coffee maker, with one chamber for water, a pot for steeping, and a pot for pouring. I put in the water, added the marvelously yummy Enchanted Works Jasmine Pearl tea into the steeping chamber, set the timer for 3 minutes, and went away.
When I came back, there was a fabulous pot of Jasmine Pearls tea happily warming in the TriniTEA. It tastes WONDERFUL. The little Jasmine Pearls had unfurled beautifully in the steeping pot, all ready to make another pot for iced tea (since you can reuse the leaves once).
The only little problem I have with the unit is that the tea pot on the bottom dribbles when you pour. Perhaps they need to remake the pot to prevent that somehow. But besides that, this unit has made me quite happy now that I've had to give up diet Pepsi.
