Japanese tea bag maker Ocean-Teabag has been making waves by creating little parcels of aroma in the shape of marine animals. Luckily for us, their wide range of tea bags are available at online Japanese novelty retailer Village Vanguard, maker of such fine products as Space Tea and cat-shaped kitchen utensils.
Ocean-Teabag’s earliest designs included beautiful dolphin tea bags filled with blue mallow tea leaves. Steeping them turns your otherwise normal pot of water into a tranquil ocean.
Proving to be a hit among tea lovers, Ocean-Teabag expanded their repertoire to many other sea creatures including the sea turtle (butterfly pea jasmine tea)…
the distinctive ocean sunfish (Japanese hojicha — roasted green tea)…
the graceful manta ray (tropical mango tea)…
and even a blood-thirsty shark (blended herb tea).
The newest addition to their robust series of marine creatures is a tea bag shaped like an innocuous sea cucumber. This little parcel is filled with jasmine tea, as well as a smidgen of sea cucumber powder to lend some authenticity. Ocean-Teabag warns that some people who have a sensitive tongue may find it tasting a little fishy.
The company also crafted a deep sea series that will satisfy even the most adventurous of tea drinkers out there. A few such examples are the anglerfish (earl grey tea)…
the creepy giant isopod (Eastern Beauty oolong tea)…
the horseshoe crab (white apricot tea)…
…and lastly the king of them all, the enormous giant oarfish. (
Delicious Assam tea of epic proportions! ) Just like its namesake, it measures a whopping 19 centimeters (7.5 inches). Drinking tea becomes an art when half of your tea bag hangs out of your cup.
While the notion of turning your cup of tea into fish-inhabiting waters is not new, these tea bags will hopefully conjure up images of gentle ocean waves in your mind.
Had no problem grooming children and sending them all over the Country to fuck his freinds but can’t handle it when he has to finally pay for those crimes? Same with the hedge fund guys that killed themselves during the ‘08 crash but had no problems selling phony investments and getting rich while recipients lost their homes and money.
The nerve of these people to take the easy way out.
So… in a Federal prison where he supposedly tried to hang himself once already, he managed to pull it off? This stinks. Perhaps he did. Then again, his “friends” control millions to billions of dollars. Given that you can hire a member of congress for mere thousands to sell out the country, I find it possible, perhaps even likely, that the rich “friends” this turd bucket had might not want him to testify and rat people out. How cheap is a prison guard or a warden these days? I’ll bet another inmate would be even cheaper… ~Joe
