Tea bags!

This twinings mailout is a lovely idea to get people to try a new tea. The design works well, lovely use of type by Alison Chamichael.

"Stockwell has often used maps to explore the history of trade and economic power. Here, she has stitched together used tea bags to make a simple map. It is a witty allusion to the British obsession with tea-drinking, but also refers indirectly to the legacy of the British empire in India."

I came up with the idea of placing a tea stained image of the relevant continents on each tea package, and found the below image which relates really well.
