EDITORIAL LETTER
E MOTION EVOLUTION" The meaning of Design in our everyday life " -
You may be wondering why E-Motion Evolution The meaning of Design in our everyday life is the theme of this month. What does it mean? Why "Design" is written with a capital letter? Sometimes we don't pay attention at something that surround us at every single moment. This month's theme is E-Motion Evolution. It has hide in it three ponderous words; "emotion" "motion" and "evolution". This three words say everything we need to know, it's the evolution through motion of our emotions, and thoughts, thanks to whom? Thanks to the design and for consequent the designer that are behind all the objects. The clothes you are wearing, the chair you are sitting in, think about it. EVERYTHING has a design (bad or good, it has it's own, unique design) The motion of design makes our thoughts, ideas and emotions evolute. Never forget the importance of Design

Elegant like origami, the traditional japanese art they are inspired from. This SENBA TEA teabags, have an eco.friendly design: the cardboard wrapping is recyclable, and even the glue (made of plants) and the teabag itself (made of green corn) are biodegradables!
