On The Death Of A Teabag
I have this friend who keeps collecting all her used teabags to add to her henna mixture (hair dye) and it always grosses me out. Different strokes for different folks, what do you do with your dead-used teabag? Mine goes straight into the bin, haha I’m lying, I use loose tea leaves! But seriously, would you want to create artwork with a dripping bag like seen in the “Teabag Coasters” packaging or would you just dump it?

What does one do with the newly decorated tea bag coaster art? Does it just go in the recycle bin, or is it designed to be reused with other types of drinks without growing bacteria or breaking down? Curious.

nice poetry design
Bruno says
This is such a nice design
Personally I would try to extend this to actual ceramic tea coasters, just to include tea bags that don’t have packages (such as pyramid tea bags).

Not every time i make a pot, but whenever I need a boost I take two used teabags, squeeze excess tea out so they are only moist. Put in fidge for 20 minutes, or over night. Place chilled tea bags on tired eyes, and relax. The cold takes away puffiness, and the caffiene is supposed to take away dark circles. Either way your eyes look, and you feel refreshed afterwards. They’ll be good in the fridge for a day or so, so sometimes I wait till my next cup of tea to enjoy it.

Wow, very cool actually. Adds a nice peace to your tea break.

I've got to say that my used teabags go straight in the bin and i'm not sure i use individually wrapped teabags all that often. This maybe a decent product for a hotel or something though.

I would prob trash it after is cools, might be fun for a few minutes. I have heard of people using tea as a stain for furniture and walls???

Nice party buzz similar to fortune cookie reading. Also similar to games on a children's cereal box.

I imagine now the porcelain teapot becomes quite forlorn. In days of old the teapot was quite beautiful and center of attention.

Who uses individually packaged tea bags??? No wonder we're killing the planet!
armenfirman says
An interesting and decorative approach. I would also like to know what comes next, rather than the bin.
Personally, I'm a looseleafhead and a (tea)pothead. But glad to stumble on a tea page, nonetheless!

Looks cool, but the tea cup has a saucer (even in the drawing) for exactly the purpose of putting teabags on it. So this seems like a waste of paper and trees that the paper is ultimately made from…
