Ah, the Autumn games started ;D)
A little bit cleaner and not using the unstable "echo" :

---------
#!/bin/bash
xterm -e \
"printf '\n\n\n\n\n\n
**************************
* *
* Tea Timer Started !! *
* *
**************************\n'
sleep 3"
(
sleep 150
for iiiii in $(seq 5)
do
aplay /usr/local/share/sounds/teatime.wav
done
xterm -e \
"printf '\n\n\n\n\n\n
**************************
* *
* TEA IS READY !! *
* *
**************************\n'
read key"
)&
---------

Besides, I'd prefer a stronger tea, then 5 minutes are really too long,
made it a 150 seconds :-)

Now, waiting for the oneliner obfuscated version :D)
