These Animal Tea Bags “Come to Life” When Submerged into Water

Drinking tea isn’t always the most exciting experience, especially when you have to wait for the gray rectangular tea bag to do its magic. But one Japanese company came up with an awesome idea on how to make this daily ritual a lot more interesting.

Ocean Teabag is a tea company that produces hand-crafted and highly detailed animal-shaped tea bags. Once these tea bags get in contact with hot water, they “come to life” and give you a feeling like a cute little animal is taking a bath in your tea cup.

The interesting thing is that each animal tea bag has its own flavor. For example, the octopus has a combination of Assam and Darjeeling tea, while squid contains black Pu’er tea.

Check out some of these intriguing tea bags below.
