Lotus Teapot from The Hunger Site

While leafing through Your Good House, a supplement to Good Housekeeping magazine, I came across this teapot in their shopping guide.  I like both the colors and design and better yet, how the purchase of this teapot can provide staple food for the hungry.

The Hunger Site was founded to meet a specific humanitarian need: the eradication of world hunger.

    This article made me think about how the poor of the world could afford to drink tea or not. I realize that without middlemen and American retail overhead, costs can be kept pretty low even for a fairly decent quality of tea. I guess I'd like to see the poor get their tea, too. --Teaternity
