that at the outset seemed crazy to almost everyone: only one 
type of tea and only in big packages. But this was not a whim 
or a passing fancy; it was a very carefully thought-out concept. The principle is to build from function instead of 
fol-lowing convention. If you systematically look for the 
factors that make a product like tea so expensive in

three times as much for their purchases as what had been paid in 
the producing countries.5 Today this is true to an even greater 
extent; now the ratio is ten to one. Business costs account for 
nine tenths of the retail price. Thus, contrary to the generally 
accepted view, despite all the streamlining, the costs accruing to 
businesses have risen steeply, particularly due to the everincreasing expenditures for marketin
