I enjoyed this segment very much having incorporated used teabags in my art. I was struck by the beauty of the bag's design, the way it is folded, the tiny staple, short piece of string, tiny label, machinery to fabricate it....and we just dunk it for a few seconds after which we don't know how fast to get rid of it!
It was a pleasure to be immersed in that small but tasteful innovation... the tea bag.
