We all know about the benefits of drinking tea, and some of these would include stronger bones, protection from heart attack and stroke, a caffeine boost without the jitters and a tasty calorie-free beverage.
Tea is so prominent in the Chinese culture and has been that way for thousands and thousands of years. Tea happens to be one of China’s most iconic exports, which brings us to a fascinating and modern take on the simple tea bag.
A Taipei company called Charmvilla has created a most unusual and genius take on the typical, plain old tea bag. A regular sealed bag of tea is usually made of filter paper, but Charmvilla has made the tea bag into a work of art!
Taiwanese artists have labored very hard to develop a tea bag into a beautiful and life-like swimming goldfish. When the tea bag is brewed in hot water, it begins to swell and morph into the shape of a goldfish. The mouth of the tea bag is designed with a special cotton thread, enabling the tea bag to move in the water. Suddenly, your tea mug has a goldfish swimming around in it. It’s a sight to behold.
The Charmvilla goldfish tea bags are available in delicious local organic Taiwanese premium teas. All of the teas offered are presticide-free and radiation-free. The teas include Ruby Black, Rose Petal Black, Jin Xuan Oolong, Champagne White-Tip Oolong,
By the way, this gorgeous and modern take on the tea bag will cost you quite a bit more, with the price of one Charmvilla goldfish tea bag selling for $20. Then again, no one has ever created anything as spectacular as this for the art of drinking tea.
