Tea / Towels / Bags / Tags / Spoons
The packaging is visually pleasing as well as in keeping with the craddle-to-craddle rules of design. Tea on its own interacts with 3 different senses: taste, smell and touch. Tea is also a culture, and an experience, which is why each tea tag binds 2 tea bags. It encourages the receiver to share a moment enjoying a warm tea with a loved one. The tags are perforated so they can be split like a wishbone. The tag contains seeds meant to be planted, which adds another level of depth to the ritual of tea; one that continues beyond a cup.
