Japanese teabag maker ocean-teabag, known for their ingeniously and artfully designed products, have released another teabag creation that not only gives you a refreshing drink but provides ample visual enjoyment as well.
We think you’ll agree that the teabag beautifully recreates the form of a frog. What’s more, the tea used in these bags turn a vibrant blue, making for a truly stunning image!
▼ June is the rainy season in Japan, when many frogs come out in the wet weather, so the teabag frog soaking in water actually makes for a nice seasonal motif this time of year.
What makes the tea even more attractive is that the blue color isn’t artificial, but is derived from the butterfly pea it contains. The ingredients in the tea also include spearmint and peppermint, so the tea is sure to taste refreshing as well.
▼ Here’s what the teabags look like before they’re placed in water.
▼ The teabags come in colorfully illustrated individual packets.
The frog teabags are available in packages of 4 bags for a price of 1,820yen from quirky merchandise retailer Village Vanguard or ocean-teabag’s website.
If you’re in Japan and able to purchase them, the frog teabags should make great gifts as they’re fun to look at and enjoyable as a drink. Plus, if you’re traveling, the teabags won’t be too heavy to carry around. We bet you never imagined you’d welcome a frog in your cup of tea!

Unfortunately, most teabags are an evironmental hazard as they contain plastic. Ether use loose tea or seek out teabags made entirely from paper. Too much plastic in this country, Japan needs to do more to cut down.

The latin name of the Butterfly Pea is Clitoria ternatea (because that's what the flower looks like). It is traditionally used all over Asia to colour food blue. Doe this tea contain mint leaves, or only menthol (the essential oil)?
