Tea box packaging - convenient and handy!

If you are a tea lover or someone who aspires to be a tea connoisseur, then you must know the importance that packaging holds for teas. If you own tea boxes then you will see that packaging for tea leaves is different from packaging for infusion tea bags. Isn’t it? Now lets move on to how and when does one create a mood for tea? We all see a lot of creatives and real-time images of people wrapped in sweaters, holding a warm tea cup in their hands with perhaps a book beside them or a window open to a lawn area - creating the perfect mood shot for some ‘chai time’. Now lets take one step behind to know what sort of tea are they drinking. Is it infused or herbal or tea leaves or essence or something else. And to know this better, lets move to the tea box from where the story actually begins.
