If you're a tea snob, I mean ,connoisseur, as I am, you know it's all about the process - steep it too long and it's bitter; too short and it's colored water.

TeaCubes takes the guessing out of the equation by placing the tea bag on a timed retractable spool so it pulls the teabag out of your mug in exactly three minutes.

Designed by Jieun Yang & Hanah Suh, it's only in the concept stage at this point, but you can admire it at Yanko Design.
