Chaji Tea Trading Company

Product name & Brand Identity, Brand Story, Product Development, Package Design

THE CHALLENGE:

Develop a new brand of organic matcha tea that stands out in a cluttered catetory.

 

THE INSIGHT:

Competition’s focus on functional benefits created an opportunity for a brand rooted in the authenticity of an ancient Japanese ritual.

 

THE SOLUTION:

We created Chaji Tea Trading Company, a brand that references a 1,000 year-old tea ceremony that is the quintessential form of Japanese elegance and hospitality. 

To further drive Chaji Tea’s authenticity, we selected the key visual of a geisha serving tea, which we modeled after an image from a 17th century Japanese woodcut.   The combination of this antique visual and bold poster-style graphics unite to create iconic packaging that stands out in crowded online and retail marketplaces.
