Are you a fan of tea?

If you are a fan of a nice hot sup then we think you’ll like this electronic portable teabag that can brew a fresh cup of loose-leaf tea at the push of a button.

Basically, you fill the device, called the MyChai Personal Tea Maker, with your preferred leaf, put the device in cold water, push a button, stir for three-six minutes and enjoy.

A heating element boils the water while the leaves diffuse inside the MyChai’s tea chamber.

The device has been designed to brew four different types of tea at each leaf’s recommended brewing temperature, so you’ll get a perfect cup of tea every single time.

The MyChai has been created by Indian Industrial Designer Uttara Ghodke who hopes to retail the device for €47 (£35) when it reaches the final production process.
