Famed for their love of tea

The British are famed for their love of tea, but Hong Kong-based Starmoon seems to have got the wrong end of the stick. According to its latest press release, its Tea Bag Bin is ‘just’ 200cm tall and 100cm in diameter. Given its shape, this means it has a volume of just short of 60 litres. That’s about 3,500 tea bags, or nearly ten cups a day for a year. Sadly, while the thought of short people slam-dunking tea bags into a giant bin is not without its appeal, the Diary suspects a misprint. Ah well – at least it’s goodbye to those brown stains on the worktop.
