Thread: Calling all tea drinkers

Ok so this is kind of off topic, but I figured it would be fun to post. I had to do a tea box package design for my final in Typography. I made up the company, created a logo, and designed the packaging. The results are below.

The school doesn't have the kind of equipment to produce proper boxes, nor the high quality printers that would normally be used for professional production, so that is why it looks a little rough. Still, I had a lot of fun with it and I hope you all can have a laugh. Kind of a Ben and Jerry's for the Tea Wold.

Mr. Squirrel,

That's fantastic designing. I'll be looking for it at my local grocery store soon

Psychedelic tea? Sounds like fun!

I've tried drinking Lapsang Souchong while smoking Latakia tobacco, and it was almost too much of a good thing!

Haha, thanks for the kind words Steve. In doing school projects, I have made up several fictional companies to do logos and design work for. There are two, this one and a ice cream parlor, that I honestly wouldn't mind pursuing someday if I get the chance.

Wow, after a bit of research that is a pretty potent combination. I may have to try it someday.

my favourites are:
- ceylon,
- earl grey,
- rooibus or red bush,
- assam,
- peppermint,
- green tea with lemon

in terms of the milk vs no-milk i am a convert to the no milk school.

although i was brought up here in the uk - where milk is the norm - numerous trips to poland with the girlfriend have conditioned me to no milk and in fact i prefer it. that said, i did initially resist with the protestation that milk is used extensively in india and if indians don't know how to drink tea, who does? she counters that this was the british influence. who knows.

as an aside, my most amusing recollection of tea with or without milk came a few years back when we were driving up to scotland late at night and stopped at a motorway service station. it was 2am and my girlfriend was pestering me to ask the lady if they had lemon to go with her black tea. wanting to arrive quicker up north and generally adopting a blokish stance, i refused. anyhow, she took matters into her own hands and strode forward confidently asking if lemon was available. the lady didn't register my girlfriend's request initially and when it eventually sunk in, she looked at her like she was an alien. by this stage i was finding it hard not to belly laugh.

anyway, a stack of facts re. tea: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea.
