# Luxurious Zodiac Teas These Packets of Chinese Tea Leaves Celebrate the Year of the Monkey By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-02-10 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-tea-leaves References: [tealeaves](http://www.tealeaves.com/shop/accessories/gift-boxes/lucky-envelope) In celebration of the Lunar New Year, [TEALEAVES](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tealeaves-x-pantone) created a special-edition set of themed Chinese tea leaves. As a whole, this set is packaged with this year's zodiac sign, the Year of the Monkey and comes in a traditional red envelope to signify luck. Inside the Lucky Envelope set are two oversized loose leaf tea bags, including one Organic Long Life Green and another Organic Imperial Oolong, two tea types that are deeply ingrained in Chinese history. While many special tea blends can be quite costly to buy, this pair makes a great gift that comes in at under $5. Beyond [Lunar New Year celebrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/year-of-the-snake-1), TEALEAVES also suggests that this two-piece set would make a great way to commemorate family gatherings, the birth of a child and weddings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Themed Chinese Tea:** Opportunity for creating special-edition teas that celebrate cultural events or specific themes. - **Affordable Tea Sets:** Opportunity to offer affordable and themed tea sets as gifts for various occasions. - **Organic Tea Blends:** Opportunity to cater to the growing demand for organic tea blends in the market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Specialty Tea:** Opportunity for specialty tea brands to create unique tea blends and sets for different occasions. - **Gift and Celebratory Goods:** Opportunity for businesses that specialize in creating and selling gifts and celebratory goods. - **Organic Beverage:** Opportunity for organic beverage companies to expand their product offerings with organic tea blends. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Celebratory Confection Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-new-year-gift-set.md) - [Color-Themed Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tealeaves-x-pantone.md) - [Lunar Celebration Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/year-of-the-dragon-collection.md) - [Lunar New Year-Celebrating Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/year-of-the-dragon.md) - [Regional Zodiac Treat Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-diplomacy-lunar-new-year-box.md) - [Bespoke Red Envelopes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-red-envelope.md) - [Lunar Celebration Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unforgettable-taste-for-new-beginnings.md) - [Customizable Lunar Year Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-new-year-goodies.md) - [Astrology-Inspired Tea Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astrologyinspired-tea.md)
