Flavorful Tea Pods

Loose Leaf Infusions are Repackaged to Mimic Nespresso and Keurig

— December 29, 2015 — Lifestyle
Now that so many North American and European households have some sort of coffee pod machine, tea pods really were bound to emerge. A new brand from Portugal, HolyCup reimagines the packaging for tea, putting dried leaves into tiny plastic containers, rather than permeable bags.

This fresh new idea of tea pods required an equally fresh consumer-facing presence, and it was Pedro Bivar who designed this. Sets of 10 single-serving teas are nestled into each bright box, which features a special two-color zigzagging pattern for each flavor. One of the hues on the carton matches the vibrant capsule, enabling the consumer to easily distinguish between the a number of different varieties. Overall, it's an enticing branding scheme that will convert consumers to tea pods––opening up more possibilities for making indulgent tea lattes in one's own kitchen.
Trend Themes
1. Tea Pods - Tea pods are emerging as a new trend in the beverage industry, providing convenience and easy brewing for tea lovers.
2. Repackaged Packaging - Reimagining the packaging for tea by using plastic containers instead of traditional permeable bags is a disruptive innovation opportunity in the tea industry.
3. Indulgent Tea Lattes - The rise of tea pods opens up opportunities for consumers to create indulgent tea lattes at home, tapping into the growing demand for specialty beverages.
Industry Implications
1. Beverage - The beverage industry can capitalize on the tea pod trend by introducing new flavors and packaging options to cater to the increasing demand.
2. Packaging - The packaging industry has an opportunity to innovate by designing eco-friendly and convenient packaging solutions specifically tailored for tea pods.
3. Home Appliance - The home appliance industry can develop new machines or adapt existing ones to accommodate tea pods, expanding the market for single-serve brewing devices.
