Project Description

A tea from Amsterdam... must be hemp tea of course. But if you take a closer look you'll find that it's actually mind blowing in a different way. This is a seriously beautiful tea in 4 melanges and made 100% sustainably. Even the window in the packs is made from biodegradable cellulose-based plastic. The paper pouch is made from agricultural waste. The bags are packed by disabled people in sheltered employment.

The design needed to reflect the eco-cred of the product without becoming too weirdy-beardy. We opted for a bold eco-vibe with a special Dutch Harvest character. Dutch Harvest just jumps from the (boring) tea shelves.

Production Lesson(s)

Main challenge was to find real eco-friendly stock and lining and ink and glue. For instance: all existing, of-the-shelf bags had some sort of petrochemical liner. We wanted a 100% biodegradable, eco-friendly  window in the bag. We had to make two manufacturers work together to create this basically new product. And they did.  ”
