The leafy newcomer follows previous innovations such as the pyramid bag.
Research revealed 85 per cent of tea lovers leave the bag in for under a minute, with 45 per cent pulling it out in less than 30 seconds.
So experts at PG Tips stirred, and brewed up a plan for those who do not have time to stand over their freshly poured beverage.
Its new design features a perfectly square bag with room for the leaves to infuse, but does not fold over itself which can limit the taste if taken out too soon.
It is filled with tea grown at high altitude in Kenya and Rwanda, making it PG Tips’ “most perfect, full-bodied and refreshing blend ever”.
