Mood-Reflecting Teas

These Etos Tea Packaging Designs Reflect Various States of Mind

— July 10, 2015 — Marketing
Millford's tea packaging designs for the new Etos tea line cleverly incorporate different moods visually into the product with elegant paper cut outs. The mood-reflecting packaging speaks well to the brand's attempt to market various teas for different occasions and emotions.

While most tea branding is based on ingredients, the Etos tea takes a unique approach tailoring its flavors to different emotions. The packaging uses colored cardboard and various cut out shapes to highlight the tea's focus. For example, one tea is called Love and comes with a red lid over a white box with a cut out heart that frames the words "cup full of love." The minimalist packaging focus on color, emotion and aesthetic rather than flavor or ingredients.
Trend Themes
1. Mood-reflecting Packaging - The use of mood-reflecting packaging designs to communicate different emotions and occasions for tea consumption presents opportunities for enhancing brand recognition and consumer engagement.
2. Emotion-based Product Tailoring - The unique approach of tailoring tea flavors to different emotions opens up possibilities for creating personalized and targeted tea products that cater to specific consumer needs and preferences.
3. Aesthetic-focused Branding - Shifting the focus from flavor and ingredients to color, emotion, and aesthetic in tea packaging design offers opportunities for differentiation and creating a strong visual identity that appeals to consumers seeking unique and visually pleasing experiences.
Industry Implications
1. Tea Packaging Design - The demand for innovative and creative tea packaging designs that effectively communicate emotions and occasions presents an opportunity for designers and packaging companies to offer unique solutions.
2. Beverage Marketing - Leveraging mood-reflecting packaging and emotion-based product tailoring in tea marketing strategies can help beverage companies create compelling narratives and connect with consumers on an emotional level, fostering brand loyalty and differentiation.
3. Personalized Tea Products - Developing personalized tea products that cater to specific consumer emotions and preferences allows for disruptive innovation in the tea industry, offering unique selling propositions and customized experiences.
