"How different is teatime in orbit? Astronaut Don Pettit showed us in 2003
when he filmed himself taking tea onboard the International Space Station
(ISS). Instead of sipping from a cup, Pettit used chopsticks to pluck
grape-sized blobs of tea from mid-air, grinning each time he popped one in
his mouth."

The whole idea of low pressure or vacuum steeping is very interesting.

You could extract tea 'essence' in a very low temperature condition.
Might help to retain those intangibles and volatiles that heat might
well be destroying and disassembling.
