A machine has been developed that promises to brew the "perfect cup of tea".
The Craft Brewer, which costs 7,700 pounds, relies on a novel process of brewing, called reverse atmospheric infusion (Rain), the BBC reported.
Bkon, the company behind the machine, said that the brewing process is a lot more complicated than simply dipping a tea-bag into some boiling water, as it uses a brewing chamber, into which loose tea leaves and water are placed and air is then drawn out to create a vacuum.
The negative pressure in the chamber of the machine brings the tealeaves to the surface of the liquid and draws out flavour more precisely than simply adding boiling water.
The machine can brew more than 60 cups of tea an hour and prototypes are already being tested in US coffee shops.
