The Penelope St-Cyr-Robitaille 'Sweet Time' tea bag cleverly houses the essential items for this popular afternoon beverage. The crafty packaging is ideal for those who prefer to have their tea wherever they go.

The box is constructed of cardboard and sealed with a colorful sticker to keep the goods safe and sound. The satchels contain both the tea bag and the [sugar cube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-infused), secured onto two red strings. This composite design simplifies the process of having tea time on-the-go and eliminates the need to pack sugar individually. If you take milk with your tea, you will have to provide that on your own -- until a solution for this age old problem emerges.
