THE FIRST TASTE IS WITH THE EYES

Fascinated by color's power to excite and delight, we collaborated with leading design experts—from Nike and PANTONE to OPI and Herman Miller—to elevate our craft. Our journey, captured in the Color In Sight documentary, showcases this unique collaboration, believing that the perfect complement to a cup of tea is a story worth sharing.

Dive into a palette of 10 iconic Signature teabags, with each color expertly curated by the PANTONE COLOR INSTITUTE, expressing Tea + Color + Mood. In close collaboration with over 30 world-class Executive Chefs, Pastry Chefs, and Mixologists, we've crafted a "feast for the eyes", blurring the lines between culinary art and design, using our Signature teabags as inspiration.
