Ever since teapots were invented, they've always dripped.

---

Next time you're in a café or at your aunt's house, watch the teapot as it pours, and see it spill. Look at the tablecloth after - guaranteed, there'll be a puddle.

There is a big need for a type of teapot, not only in households, but in cafés, restaurants and aeroplanes, that doesn't drip.

I've always wanted to be an inventor, since the age of six, so I set out to solve this problem. I'd had enough of all the wasted tea and dripping everywhere.

After three months of studying the science and making teapots with different-shaped spouts, I invented the world's first non-drip teapot. The change is very small. The new spout has only a tiny groove on the underside of it, and creates a lip on the inside, too. No matter which way you pour, there is no dripping.

I see that one day every teapot will have my shaped spout on it, and this will stop drips. People won't have to worry about dirty tablecloths, burning their hands, and puddles on the floor. Drinking tea will be a more enjoyable experience, too.
