The "TEA BAG HOLDER "SHIROKUMA"" is a tea bag holder in which a polar bear fishes with a tea bag. It is a product that makes the tasteless waiting time for making tea more enjoyable.


But why did the creator decide to let a polar bear fish for tea bags? The website explains

The website explains: "Have you ever had the strange sensation of scooping a tea bag out of a cup of hot water? The string stretching straight from the tag you pick up with your finger to the surface of the water is like fishing with a single tea bag. ≪This is a product that visually expresses such a sensation, in which the thread of a tea bag can be seen as something completely different if you change your viewpoint a little."

Polar bear, one fishing!

In designing the "TEA BAG HOLDER "SHIROKUMA," the company examined commercially available cups. By creating a smooth rim on the bottom, the design is said to fit cups with a diameter of 80 to 100 mm.
