PATENT OF PRE-GUMMED TEA BAG 1979 Greeting Card

Text on the reverse side: Tea was popular in the seventeenth century, however, the brewing required pots and tea strainers. Small bags were created by Tom Sullivan, a tea merchant. In the 1900s, he packaged small samples for prospective clients who used the bag as a strainer. This accidental creation became the introduction of the tea bag we use today. * A6 size (148mm x 105mm) * Luxury pearlescent eco-certified paper * Produced in our London studio * Trivia fact on the reverse * GS1 barcode for POS * Biodegradable cello bag (unwrapped option available)
