London - Britain is to get its first dripless tea bag thanks to an Australian inventor called Shakespeare, Mr Paul Nicholson, of The Tetley group, said yesterday.
"We changed the tea drinking habits of the British when we invented the tea bag in 1953 and the round tea bag in 1989," he said. The dripless tea bag "has a string at the top which is woven through the bag and then attached to two tabs at the top which you pull." - (Reuters)
