Tea and Origami

If we think we made a statement at the Boston Tea Party, imagine a sea of these. Inspired by the beauty and craft of Japanese origami, Russian designer Nathalia Ponomareva has taken the tea bag to an unprecedented level of beauty with these origami pieces. Drop her design into hot water and the shape of a soaring bird gradually takes form. We think it’s about time someone rethought the boring disposable mesh diffuser, and we couldn't be more impressed with the results.—Blaire Briody
