Bamboo Tea Sets

Midori-T's Compact Green Tea Packaging Doubles as Drinking Glasses

— August 30, 2014 — Lifestyle
Midori-T is a concept for green tea packaging by designer Gonzalo Castro Guillén. The stackable bambooo cups make it easy to transport green tea on the go, and enjoy the traditional beverage anywhere.

Because the packaging system is modular, it can be expanded to accommodate four drinking cups rather than just two by using more string. In addition to being extremely practical and sustainable, the natural bamboo materials also would enhance the drinking experience. To complete the whole nature-inspired theme, the Midori-T tea bags have leaf-shaped tags on the end of them, suggesting the freshness of the green tea batch. Labeling on the Midori-T cups is quite minimal, although there are simple black sticker closures on the top of the bamboo lids to keep everything in place.
