When Is Custom-Packaged Tea a Good Choice?

Custom-packaged tea can be used in a variety of situations, including corporate promotions, commemorative gifts, and original products for shops and brands.

Kyoto Gyokuro

This carefully crafted green tea is made from tea leaves grown in Kyoto Prefecture. By shading the tea plants from sunlight as they grow, the leaves develop a rich umami flavor and smooth sweetness. It is an excellent choice not only for special celebrations but also as a premium gift for executives and VIPs.

Kyoto Sencha Genmaicha

This approachable tea blends high-quality sencha with aromatic roasted brown rice. The refreshing flavor of sencha is complemented by the warm, roasted aroma of genmaicha. Because it can be enjoyed by people of all ages and genders, it is also a great choice for large-scale event giveaways and promotional items.

Kyoto Hojicha

This tea is roasted over high heat to bring out its rich, toasty aroma. It has little bitterness or astringency and offers a clean, refreshing taste. With a relatively low caffeine content, it is ideal for relaxing before bedtime or taking a refreshing break during work. It is also a popular choice for promotional items.

Kyoto Japanese Black Tea

This Japanese black tea is made by fermenting tea leaves grown in Japan. Compared with many imported black teas, it has a milder astringency and offers gentle sweetness and a rich aroma. It is easy to enjoy without milk or sugar and pairs well with both Western-style sweets and traditional Japanese confectionery.

Hana Gyokuro – Red –

This tea blends Kyoto gyokuro with hibiscus and chamomile. When hot water is added, the tea turns a vivid red, making it as visually enjoyable as it is delicious. Its pleasant tartness makes it a refreshing choice for a change of pace or a relaxing tea break.

Hana Gyokuro – Blue –

This blended tea combines Kyoto gyokuro with butterfly pea and red rose. When hot water is added, a beautiful blue color spreads through the cup, creating a visually striking tea. With its floral aroma and refreshing flavor, it is also an excellent choice for promotions designed to attract attention and spark conversation.

Hana Gyokuro – Orange –

This blend combines Kyoto gyokuro with rooibos, red rose, and lemon peel. When brewed, it develops a warm orange color reminiscent of a sunset. The distinctive flavor of rooibos is complemented by the refreshing taste of lemon peel, creating a colorful and aromatic tea that is especially popular among women.

Hana Gyokuro – Yellow-Green –

This herbal gyokuro blend combines Kyoto gyokuro with chamomile and red rose. It features a pale, translucent yellow-green color and a sweet, fruity aroma. Its gentle flavor makes it perfect for a relaxing cup of tea and an excellent choice for wellness-themed events and gifts.

Tips for Creating and Designing Custom Tea Packaging

How to Choose the Right Package Style

When creating custom tea, choosing a package style that suits your intended use and budget is important. Goencha offers a variety of packaging options!

Package StyleFeatures
Card TypeA compact size that holds one or two tea bags. Ideal for including with greeting cards or handing out directly.
Box TypeA palm-sized, cube-shaped paper box containing three tea bags. Add originality with a custom-designed label or sleeve. You can also choose from 15 box colors.
Pouch TypeResealable zipper pouches make storage easy and are appreciated as practical products. Stand-up pouches with gussets are especially popular.

Tips for Creating Your Design

Choose Colors Based on Your Target Audience and Occasion

Choosing package colors that suit your recipients or target customers is another important consideration. For business greeting gifts, you might choose calm, traditional Japanese colors, while bright, eye-catching colors can work well for event giveaways. Using colors that reflect the type of tea inside can also help recipients imagine what to expect.

Position Your Message and Logo for Immediate Impact

We recommend placing your brand logo or key message prominently on the front so the design communicates its purpose at a glance. Avoid placing too much text near the edges of the package, as it may overlap with the heat-sealed areas and be cut off. Be sure to leave sufficient space around the edges when creating your layout.

Conclusion

Custom-packaged tea is an excellent choice for event souvenirs and corporate promotional items. By combining teas such as Kyoto gyokuro or Japanese black tea with a carefully designed package, you can create a product that clearly reflects your company's unique identity. Since orders can be produced in small batches, custom-packaged tea is also a great option for those creating an original tea product for the first time. If you'd like to create tea that truly represents your brand or style, consider Goencha's custom-order service.
