Ineeka has cool tea bags

ineeka tea
I am not a tea drinker -- I would definitely consider myself a coffee addict at three to four cups by noon -- but when I saw this post at Arghyle, I almost considered going out to buy Ineeka teas. Blogger Sal says the tea was good, nothing particularly special, but it was the design of the tea bag that got mine (and his) attention. The tea leaves are not loose, but in individual tea bags that open up with paper arms that can attach to the sides of your cup like a fiter over which you can pour your hot water. So you get the benefit of loose tea leaves, but the convenience of individual bags. Brilliant!

Over-engineered.

You want loose tea, buy loose tea.

This is coming from an ex-package marketing person. I once believed that function and innovation was great...now, it has become very clear to me that it is about how to get someone to buy something that they don't necessarily want, and pay much more than it is really worth.

I for one would rather spend my money on good tea, not 'cool' ideas!
