Royal T-Stick: Black Tea Lemon (30 sticks)

Tea without the teabag

A Royal T-Stick is a slim tube of tea that replaces the bag, the string and the spoon in one go. Drop it into hot water, ideally just off the boil, give it a stir and leave it in until the tea is as strong as you like it. Then take the stick out and bin it: whatever water it has absorbed stays inside, so there is nothing to squeeze against the side of the mug and nothing to carry dripping to the bin.

Black tea and lemon

The flavour is black tea with lemon, fresh and fruity rather than sweet, with the lemon sitting clearly over a straightforward black tea base. It goes as well with breakfast as it does in the middle of the afternoon. It is a black tea, so it contains caffeine like any other.

Thirty sticks, wrapped one by one

The pack holds 30 sticks, each sealed in its own wrapper. They are flat and they weigh next to nothing, so a handful slips into a laptop bag or a desk drawer without taking up space. Useful if you would rather not carry a box of teabags to the office or on a trip.

• Black tea with lemon
