A peculiar new fabric made in vats of tea is being used to create a range of new clothes and shoes.
The innovative material is grown in a vat containing green tea, sugar and other nutrients. Scientists believe that the development of new fabrics is essential in relieving the pressure on the resources needed to produce conventional materials.
It is the authentic "tea shirt" - an item from a range of clothing made from Britain's favourite beverage. Fashion designers and scientists have developed a new fabric that is grown in vats of tea.
