REFLECTION QUESTIONS

1. Write about one over all idea you learned about tea: I learned that tea comes in many flavors, and the way you use each flavor is very important. Ginger and lemon teas soothe stomachs, matcha gives you energy, etc. 

2. What are you most proud of about your tea box? Creativity? Craftsmanship? Your witty title? Your tea recipe? I'm most proud of my tea box design, I think that it doesn't really look like something that would hold tea. I really liked using the alcohol markers.

3. What would you do if you had more time? I would definitely make a fake tea bag to go in the box, some of my friends did and I just didn't have time.
