The "Tea Object" has been designed to allow for the enjoyment of the true essence of tea leaves in a convenient manner without the need for a formal tea set. By incorporating a strainer, tea leaves can be placed inside, and when hot water is poured, it results in a delicious cup of tea. The components have been minimized, combining a cup with an inner strainer, and a lid.
The design of the cup is simple, but it includes markings on the inside that resemble a scale. These markings are created due to variations in outer thickness of the cup, and they serve the purpose of allowing users to gauge the right amount of water by looking at the markings inside the cup. After drinking the tea, users can also feel the taste of the tea on their fingertips when washing the cup, intentionally designed for this sensory experience.
Furthermore, efforts were made to minimize waste in the packaging as much as possible. The components are securely fixed within a wooden box that can be used permanently. The packaging material is cloth, which can be repurposed as a "Tea Mat."
