Edward Bramah puts the "teabag revolution" down to the growing importance of television in people's lives. People no longer had the patience to brew a cup of good tea, nor the time to sit down and enjoy it, and from then on were won over by the convenience of teabags, even though these "tend to create an extraordinary red colour in the cup, teapot and sink."
倫敦茶與咖啡博物館負責人布拉馬，將茶袋革命歸因電視佔據生活，人們沒有耐心泡杯好茶，也無暇坐下享受一杯好茶，沖泡簡便的袋茶於是「染紅了茶杯茶壺，也染紅了水槽」。
