websites

One packaging design idea I had was coming off of the fact in which Moroccan tea is made from fresh leaves, instead of the common dried tea that we filter. A way of packaging these fresh leaves, I need an air tight seal for the leaves individually. Instead of packaging these in filters like common tea bags, a possibility of having a water soluble package for them seemed to be a nice solution. Possibly with a flavored package, so you can put the package of leaves into boiling water and have the flavor of the packaging mixed right in.

I looked up a few websites of companies who creates these water soluble packaging.

www.solublon.com


www.monosol.com


www.cloudps.com/cps_water.php

...and some regulations for this type of packaging.

I wonder how people might react to having the actual packaging dissolved in their tea... (it's not the same as biodegradable after consumption).

I wonder what will be the flavor in the water?

The link to the EPA refers to pesticides and water soluble packaging... what about food products?
