UNESCO brief

I've been exploring the idea of using something less obvious to represent 'the rapprochement of cultures'.. I am interested in looking at tea as a link across cultures. There are so many varieties of tea across countries and the range is really broad.

The tea bags themselves also give an aesthetic opportunity. The below images were taken in Cape Town and show recycled tea bags made into cards.
