From the outside, the colorful boxes of premium tea seem to be fairly ordinary but they open in a novel way to create a unique unboxing experience. After the seal is broken and the lid is removed, the box opens up in a theatrical way and unfolds like the petals of a flower. To highlight the design's flower-like shape, colorful mandalas can be seen, which are not only decorative but represent the ingredients of the organic, premium teas. Inside the packaging, consumers will find that the [organic ingredients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-bliss) are paired with a reusable scoop.
