Herbal Tea – Twinings (Marketing & New Packaging)

There are many different Lemon & Ginger Herbal tea brands out there. While they might have the same Lemon/Ginger name each have distinct flavors. There is a brand I bought once, somewhere, can’t find it again called, “Teekanne,” a German brand. I really liked the flavor, but alas, no where to be found and on Amazon, expensive. I had to choose a brand that I can readily find at grocery store. After trying a few different brands, I settled on Twinings.

I noticed they changed their packaging. When I got home, decided to do a side/by/side to see what was different. It appears they wanted their brand/flavor/message to stand out. Makes sense, there are so many tea brands to choose from now.

They focused on a lot, ie Twinings est, 1706/London, 50 Value Pack, Enjoy Hot or Iced, 300 years of experience, Naturally Caffeine-Free and Helps Soothe Digestion.

I worked in advertising sales/marketing for quite a few years. I can only imagine how many iterations of the design, wording, along with upper management approvals took place BEFORE they received the “green light” to PRINT!

Oh, they added this note from the Master Blender.

My write up is complete. Now, it’s time to enjoy a cup of tea. Thank you Twinings!

    1. How do you do that. You mean a jar with green tea/lemon and you put in the sun? LOL… I’m trying to imagine it.

      1. Each teabag includes green tea with lemon seasoning. I put four tea bags in a half gallon pitcher, let it sit on the back porch for a half hour, bring it in squeeze the water out the tea bags, and put the tea in the fridge. I usually pour over ice cubes and it is good for up to a week if not empty earlier.

      5. I’ve used two different brands. Can’t remember what the other one was. Both had a reasonably good green/tea lemon taste.

  2. I must be old-fashioned because I like the packaging they had before; it seems more ‘soothing’ than being yelled at about the value… I get it… but…

    PS: because I appreciate you being my new blog-buddy so much and I really love the thoughtful comments you leave on my posts, I’ve done a call out of your blog – hope that’s ok. Best wishes, Linda xox

      Linda, that was so sweet of you. Of course, happy for the call out. I felt the way you did. The old packaging looked traditional, the new one is a bit modern and “in your face,” but they are competing with a lot of new tea brands, that must be why they changed the packaging. 💕

      1. Sounds like life in general I guess – everyone calling out for attention – shame in a way, not very marketing of me, but I miss quality over quantity! Good thing I know what herbal tea tastes like and which ones I like, so I tend to bypass packaging and stick to brands. xox
