Scientists and Fashion designers have developed a new fabric that is grown in vats of herbal green tea.
Scientists at Imperial College London have been working with fashion designers from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, also in the capital, to create the fabric, for use in the fashion industry.
The new fabric is grown in a soup of green tea, sugar and other nutrients, over the course of several days. Bacteria added to the solution produce long filaments of cellulose that clump together to form thin mats of fabric that float on the top of the mixture.
