This Eco-Friendly Packing Design Draws Inspiration From Tea Plantations

Tea is a way of life in China. Over 4,700 years ago, Chinese discovered this precious drink. Sipping tea is an elegant and spiritual activity in their day to day life. Even a life time is not enough to learn about Chinese tea. By the way, sustainability is one of the key aspects of modern day marketing. Especially, eco-friendly packaging designs because they demonstrate the best of innovation and sustainability. As Yanko Design had reported, Chatu is one of the best examples of all of that – the packaging is an ode to the tea plantations in Sichuan, Henan, and Fujian provinces in China from where the premium tea is collected. Each tea package has a unique shape which represents the terrain and resembles the patterns on the hands of tea pickers.

Ms. Xenia Alexandrova is the designer of these wonderful packs. The colors were carefully chosen to match each of the three types of tea – white, green, and red. The packaging is crafted by molding pulp and then colored with natural dyes. The shape resembles traditional Chinese teapots while the texture is a reminder of the plantations. The loose-leaf tea leaves are packed in two-layer cotton bags because it is breathable and environmentally friendly.

Each package comes with a note that gives consumers more information about the province and the type of tea – it educates the drinker about the flavour and the agricultural features of the plantation that make it special. It also tells how the tea should be brewed for the optimum experience.

Chatu is minimal but yet so powerful in communicating about the product, the process of making it, the art of brewing it, its origins, and more in the most simple yet elegant form.

Eventually tea became the national beverage in England. With no doubt, tea provided the refreshment, stimulation, relaxation and good health for Brits to build up a massive empire. Anyway, modern day tea drinkers have started to pay more attention on different tea types, sustainability and health before sipping their favorite cuppa.

Tea Products Launched for Chinese New Year 2019

Chinese New Year vacation is just over. But for those who are curious to learn on teas offered by popular local and international brands in China, I am bringing you below information based on an article appeared on https://www.dragonsocial.net/

China is the birth place of tea and there are hundreds of tea varieties available all over this massive country. Traditional tea consumption is still very prominent even in the modern era. But following westernizing trend, Chinese younger generation has started to experience other origin teas and innovative tea based beverages even though those are not so healthy as pure tea.

HEYTEA

If you have been to China, you will certainly know HEYTEA (喜茶), which is a Chinese local tea brand that launched several successful viral campaigns in 2017-2018. Their sales revenue topped RMB$1 billion in 2017 and with marketing strategies mainly relying on word of mouth among consumers. At some outlets a consumer has to wait for about 45 minutes to reach the counter due to long queues. Their cheese tea became a hit.

For Chinese New Year 2019 in Hong Kong, the company launched a red gift box including one Heytea branded brooch, a hoodie, a beverage coupon, a phone case, and more!  The box also promised to include four red pockets and a custom Mahjong set!

For Heytea stores in Hong Kong, they launched a new limited edition “Very Cherry Cheezo” flavored drink and gave out a limited amount of red pockets for its customers.

STARBUCKS

As normal, Starbucks’ kept up with its tradition of offering seasonal beverages for the Chinese New Year 2019. For this new year, they launched a special collection of cup and mug sets for the big festival in different countries.

For 2019 Chinese New Year in China, unexceptionally, Starbucks also used the definitive RED colour and cartoon piglets as the motif for their new collection. While for Starbucks in Hong Kong, a new drink named the “Chestnut Black Tea Latte” was launched to celebrate festive season.
