Tea machines are slow because they make the tea and then add whitener. Keith
Spicer of Dorset says most people want white tea anyway, so the machine should
use teabags that combine tea and whitener. But since this might compromise
taste, he says, the trick is to mix the insoluble tea and soluble whitener,
without infusing the tea into the whitener (GB 2 334 659). A 50:50 mix is
blasted with hot moist air, dried and packaged in tea bags. Adding boiling water
produces a beverage 鈥渟imilar in appearance and taste鈥� to tea made by infusing
leaves and adding real milk.
