Design Firm Seeks Funding, Licenses for Anime Girl Tea Bags
posted on by Eric Stimson
The Japanese design firm Mukü is interested in making a novel form of anime character merchandise: tea bags.
Inspired by "the pure desire to drink a beautiful girl's sweat," the firm is seeking licensors interested in promoting their anime, manga or video games with character tea bags. The tea will be sourced from "top class Kantō tea makers" and sold in anime or hobby shops. Mukü is also seeking crowdfunding for material acquisition and marketing. (The company already has a Twitter page, although it's bare-bones.)
It's not clear whether the tea will actually taste like beautiful girl sweat, but if tea bags are your thing, keep an eye on this company; it might be on to something.
