Hi. Great find. The idea is great and simple. If only the tea cup was more colorful. But now I'm just being picky :)
ReplyDeleteHow much and where can I buy one?
ReplyDeleteThis is a genius idea, no more fishing for the tea bag anymore
ReplyDeleteJim, just click on the link above.
ReplyDeleteHm. 25 USD for 2 notches.
ReplyDelete[gets out ceramic file]
that's so brilliant! i usually wrap mine around the handle - but this is just right!
ReplyDeletecam upon this upon on google reader. Its a neat concept, but not a great idea. First - it looks a fragile piece that would snap off in a dishwasher full of ceramic mugs. Second - different always doesn't mean better. Why would I not wrap the tea bag around the handle? Its it important to me that I would spend $25 for 2 notches? And from one designer to another - I think this idea isn't fully developed. Just my thoughts, but thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt’s kind of a pointless design, really. As someone else already pointed out, you can just ***Loop The String Around The Handle***.
ReplyDeleteAdding the notch is just a superfluous feature that detracts from the aesthetics and adds a piece that could easily be damaged or break off.
It may have the novelty to invoke the response “Oh, isn’t that clever”, but a little thought shows that its an unnecessary feature. I’m sure that anyone that drinks tea often using teabags has long realized the string around the handle trick.
Pretty impressive style!!
ReplyDeleteSure, you can use the "string-around-the-handle" trick, but this is so pretty! In my opinion, that outweighs the negatives.
