my running blog??? also all things tea, green and good for mind/body

Hi, I'm interested so many things that I sometimes get lost in my own thoughts. Passionate about so many things that I cannot even begin to name them. Mad about the world.

Glowing tea

FOR REAL! Are you kidding me? This is awesome. If this won't turn you into tea, nothing will.

As the tea bag empties its taste into a tea cup, so does the “Lighting Bag” empty its light into any fluid-holding container. What Wonsik hopes to accomplish with this project is to tear down the idea that creating forms from which light can be projected must be a difficult task – he wants light forms to flow easily.

Having a manifesto for your industrial design project can be a dangerous rope to walk – what do you make of Wonsik’s liquid light concept?

TEA=TIME

Tea should equal time. I am all up for that. However, why add sugar? I mean really.

Does your teapot have a pillow

This one does. It's called "Tea for two" and was designed by Raumgestalt.

Prepare the tea and watch it release its flavour. Bring the cup to your nose, enjoy the aroma. Crunch cookies. Make yourself comfortable and have everything within reach. Also make it cosy and warm for the tea in its tea pillow. Dream of countries far away and exotic scents. Let yourself be filled with warmth. Be with yourself and someone else. Set comes with a teapot and teacups made of glass with black silicone laces, a small glass plate and a tray (14 x 50 cm) made of light or dark coloured oak, or black soft varnish.

Can a black tea be more black?

Devilish tea brand, designed by the nightmare Matthew Alexander Manos!

“Black Tea” is a fictitious tea brand for the anarchistic demographic. I created a packaging and brand identity system that takes tea out of its natural and expected setting (floral, feminine, prissy, sophisticated), and presents it with the design methods used within the Punk/Anarchist ideologies. All of the packaging is made from materials that (with repeated use) will deteriorate over time. The logo and printing on the packaging was hand carved from a linoleum block and stamped to create a consistently spontaneous presentation. This project is examining the fact that, with a powerful brand identity, a product can be completely removed from its original context and naturally placed into one it has never existed in before.

This fabulous project comes packed neat with a lovely “zine” style look-book and research guide. All hand made and pretty for your elegant taste and refined style.

The brand book for “Black Tea” is designed in the style of a punk zine. The brand book consists all of my research, design elements, educational information on tea, among other things. The book was hand sewn (32 pages) and the cover is stamped with a hand-carved linoleum block.

My parents gave me a nudę little book about tea. For example did you know that camelia sinensis isn't the only real tea plant. There is also camelia assamica. Guess it's like arabica and robusta when it comes to coffee.
