The brand Fortnum & Mason enlisted the creative agency Otherway London to design the packaging for its collection of quirky, yet high quality teas.
Each box in the collection comes with a simple color scheme, as well as various minimalist graphics that represent the flavors of the tea they contain — coming together to offer an aesthetic that is both visually playful, and contemporary. Flavors in the collection include a Gin & Tonic, a Lemon Curd, a Chocolate Violet, a Pistachio & Clotted Cream, a Summer Cocktail, a Bloody Mary, a Sundae, and a Chili & Ginger.
These flavourful and dynamic teas are able to perfectly couple a lighthearted design with a sophisticated flair.
