Tea Brick SS2

SKU: EP-CZ02

Category: Sustainable Materials

The Tea Brick SS2 is a modular bio-based architectural unit crafted from recycled tea waste and natural binders, transforming post-consumption tea residues into a durable, textured building element. Distinguished by its denser tea-particle distribution and deeper, charcoal-brown tonality, SS2 presents a more subdued, mineral-like surface character with refined organic variation, suitable for both interior and exterior applications.

Designed as a structural surface system rather than a flat panel, Tea Brick SS2 emphasizes material depth and compositional continuity, allowing light and shadow to register subtly across its compact, tea-fiber-rich surface.

Why It Matters

The Tea Brick SS2 demonstrates how subtle shifts in material density and color can create a distinctly different architectural expression within the same sustainable system. By refining tea waste into a darker, more restrained building unit, SS2 offers designers an option that leans toward quiet solidity and visual concentration, without sacrificing environmental responsibility.

As part of the Tea Brick series, SS2 reflects MIOLISM’s belief that sustainability should be structural, modular, and materially honest—where variation comes from process and composition, not surface disguise.
