Green tea benefit
Tea's health benefits are largely due to its high content of flavonoids — plant-derived compounds that are antioxidants. Green tea is the best food source of a group called catechins. In test tubes, catechins are more powerful than vitamins C and E in halting oxidative damage to cells and appear to have other disease-fighting properties. Studies have found an association between consuming green tea and a reduced risk for several cancers, including, skin, breast, lung, colon, esophageal, and bladder
Drinking a cup of tea a few times a day to absorb antioxidants and other healthful plant compounds. In green-tea drinking cultures, the usual amount is three cups per day. Allow tea to steep for three to five minutes to bring out its catechins. The best way to get the catechins and other flavonoids in tea is to drink it freshly brewed. Decaffeinated, bottled ready-to-drink tea preparations, and instant teas have less of these compounds. Tea can impede the absorption of iron from fruits and vegetables. Adding lemon or milk or drinking tea between meals will counteract this problem.

What is your language
The brand promise is clear and simple: Innovate to perform for > Speed / Endurance / Protection.
However, times have changed and the consumer market requires something more. Apart from it’s functionality, emotions becomes important to the user in order to perform. Thus, the concept of 'empowerment' is sold to the consumer to heighten a different level of demand. For example, My sporting attire/item gives me the strength to be fast, achieve maximum performance, and ensure safety.
The Prominent Features
To further elevate the concept of empowerment and trigger one’s emotion in the ability to be fast in speed, achieve maximum performance, and assurance in protection, the form, the weight, and the colors, provokes positive energy and emotional lift in communicating the concept of empowerment. Thereby, out of the consumer sub-consciousness, the design of the product is tagged onto the promise of empowerment via emotional triggers/stimulation and via design features: the form, the weight, and the colors.
Important Elements and Principles
To form an association with the emotional reaction the designer wants to achieve, the choice of materials, aggressive lines and curves, patterns, and vivid colors are important elements used in designing the products.
The choice of materials, for instance: carbon fibre, aluminum, and titanium, offers the perception of being lightweight allowing faster speed and prolong endurance, and polycarbonate offers the perception of impact resistance for full protection.
The application of aggressive lines and curves in creating the form or surfaces, emphasizes the aerodynamic capability, and sharp lines together with vivid colors evokes the emotion of being fast in speed.
bamboo product in japan
Japanese packaging design that imitates natural materials, such as fake printed cardboard bamboo sheaths, plastic fake "bamboo" bottles, and other natural/plastic hybrid packaging techniques.
Bamboo is naturally divided into sections and here it ingeniously functions as the mould and the container for the jelly as well. Efficient! Amazing! Perfect!
But to temper the delight: There is an extra tool required to make the yokan slip out of its container. This involves additional effort.
In contrast, the plastic replica is easier to open.
