Gourmet Teacups & Syrups

Product & Brand Design for Tea Nectar

A whimsical yet refined product line inspired by floral botanicals, hummingbirds, and the sensory beauty of tea rituals.

 

 

 

 

 

The Concept

Tea Nectar is a conceptual lifestyle brand for modern tea drinkers who crave beauty, flavor, and intention in every sip. Inspired by nature’s nectar and the elegance of traditional tea ware, this imagined product line includes:

  • Petal-shaped teacups and saucers
  • Flavor-forward gourmet syrups in herbaceous, fruity, and citrus-forward blends designed specifically for tea (not coffee)
  • Sculptural packaging modeled after hummingbirds—the natural pollinators and nectar lovers of the world

Tea Nectar repositions tea as an immersive, customizable beverage experience, elevating the slow ritual of sipping into an everyday indulgence.

Visual Prototyping

All concept renderings were generated using AI-powered tools via Envato Labs to quickly prototype and visualize product ideas. This rapid iteration process enabled exploration of colorways, materials, and form factors before physical fabrication.

Packaging Explorations

Hummingbird-Inspired Syrup Bottles
Two packaging directions were explored for the Tea Nectar syrups:

  • Pump Bottle Design – Ideal for high-use countertops or tea cafés, inspired by the beak of a hummingbird sipping nectar
  • Pour Spout Bottle Design – Sculptural and elegant, perfect for tabletop service, gifting, or ceremonial tea moments

3D-printed mockups brought form to early designs, simulating size, grip, and usability.
