From Wikipedia : The History of Tea Bag
The first tea bags were made from hand-sewn silk muslin bags and tea bag patents of this sort exist dating as early as 1903.

First appearing commercially around 1904, tea bags were successfully marketed by tea and coffee shop merchant Thomas Sullivan from New York, who shipped his tea bags around the world.

The loose tea was intended to be removed from the bags by customers, but they found it easier to prepare tea with the tea enclosed in the bags.Modern tea bags are usually made of paper fiber.

The heat-sealed paper fiber tea bag was invented by William Hermanson, one of the founders of Technical Papers Corporation of Boston. Hermanson sold his patent to the Salada Tea Company in 1930.

Color. we have seen them. we know them. we always use them every day.
You probably know the basic colors like red, green, blue, yellow, pink, purple, and probably many more.
You also may know that the primary colors like red, blue, and yellow, and that they can not be made by mixing other colors.
You may also know that secondary colors, which are made by mixing two primary colors, like purple, green, and orange.

However, there must be some colors that you've never heard of or perhaps even seen, thanks to Crayola and the growing popularity of online use the code and the RGB Hex code layout and design.

You've probably seen them many times before, but you do not know her name.

Malachite may color all of us had ever seen, but never known his real name. This color is also known as the green base and 4 is often used when creating a green dye. This bright green comes from carbonate minerals known as Malachite, or copper carbonate. In the year 1800, the mineral is widely used for green paint because it is often easy to mix and vary in color. Color malachite is one that looks a lot in history. For example, there Malachite Room in the Hermitage, and also said that the throne of Demeter was made of this color, too.

Think spicy mustard and unthinkable gamboge color, but slightly darker. The color is a yellow pigment rather transparent, although a bit dark. Color is named gamboge tree, known as yellow resin.

Gamboge color began to spread, and in the 17th century spread to Europe, which was first used in English in the year 1634.

Actually, this is one of the color names the oldest in existence in the English language. Although not considered a color that "pretty" by some people, a pale brown color will be visible when looking into an empty area of land, often sandy.

This color is said to be one that is very similar to the color of roses, which is found directly in the middle of magenta and red on the color wheel. You can thank Laura Bartolomei-Hill to name, because he is a person who memberinam color in the age of five in New Crayola Color Contest.

Falu red color has a deep meaning in the various fields in Sweden. This color is dark red color that is used prominently and frequently used in the wood shed and cottage. The purpose of garnet is to mimic the color of the bricks that are more expensive. Initially the color comes from copper mines in Falun, Dalarna, located in Sweden. Unlike most of the color, this one has been there for a long time, since the 16th century precisely, and to this day still in use. However, rarely used for houses in the cities in Sweden today, because more populer.Tapi bricks, in the countryside, the color can be seen everywhere.
