        Its green tea that is good for you.

"The tea industry had thought of disposable teabags for busy people,"
says Dr Mridul Hazarika, the station's director, "Now the tea tablet
will make it even easier.

"The tea tablet is something that you will be able to drink normally
or put on your tongue as you go into work and it will freshen you up
for the day ahead just like a real cup does."

To put this bold claim to the test, The Daily Telegraph was invited to
one of Tocklai's labs for a tea pill tasting.
Next, four cups of tea of varying strengths, all made with the
dissolvable pill, were unveiled. To a palate reared on brands such as
PG Tips they tasted no different from a normal cuppa.
Ten minutes ago the idea had seemed laughable. But in the afterglow of
my first tea tablet, I started to wonder whether these little brown
pills might not catch on.
