As a big tea drinker and teapot collector, I gotta get me one of these! The ‘Tea Orb’ by British design student Daniel Bailey is an incredible concept and a beautiful object to behold. The idea of the two bonding balls is that one works as a mini induction cooker to heat the other ball, which is filled with water.
Bringing together two ancient Chinese traditions, the Tea Orbs not only produce your delicious cup of tea, but can also help you release stress between cups by rolling the balls in your hands.
