Indian scientists have patented two new tea-based products -- a pill and a fizzy drink they hope will give consumers the same pleasure as drinking a freshly brewed cuppa."The pill is absolutely safe and can be chewed or placed under the tongue, besides drinking in the conventional manner by dipping the tablet in a cup of hot water," one of the scientists, Mridul Hazarika, told AFP Friday.
"We are sure the tea tablets will be able to freshen and cheer up a person with nearly the same feeling as having a hot cup of brewed tea," he said.
The "Tea cola," meanwhile, will come in two varieties -- green and black. "The drink is made from pure natural tea extracts having a lot of medicinal properties in them," Hazarika said at the Tocklai Experimental Station in the tea growing town of Jorhat.

I don't believe a word these scientists say about making you feel like just having had a cup of tea, but I DO believe that there is a huge market out there for people that just don't care about tea but want the health benefits from tea.
