With coffee “pod” packaging becoming every more popular, tea maker Dilmah is fighting back with its own answer to the packaging format – a "tea cap" that is compatible with most Nespresso machines.

The Dilmah tea cap will be available in two types of tea that are handpicked from specific regions in Sri Lanka: English Breakfast, which is grown in the Dimbula Valley, and Earl Grey, which is grown in the Ratnapura region.

According to Dilmah, its tea cap produces consistently high quality cups of tea with no waste, no mess and in no time. Just like the coffee cap, it’s as simple as inserting the capsule.

The Dilmah tea caps are available in selected supermarkets.

Tucking into a hamburger without harming animals is closer to reality after University of Queensland (UQ) researchers found a way to cut costs in cultivated meat production.

Sixteen months after receivers were appointed over its holding company, the structural obstacle to selling Western Australia’s largest milk processor has been removed. McGrathNicol has launched the formal sale process for Brownes Dairy, with China Mengniu Dairy Company consolidating its holding position so the entire enterprise can be put to market rather than a shareholding above it.
