Rishi Tea & Botanicals
Redesigning a bold and bright recipe journal for a tea and botanical importer
Overview
Rishi Tea & Botanicals is an independent tea selector, importer, and maker. An ecommerce powerhouse, Rishi sells organic tea bags, chai concentrate, and powders across different flavor profiles. While their digital brand is stunning, they were looking for a new and unique way to showcase their products. The goal was to create a fun and experiential way to use Rishi products. Working with the marketing director and lead designer, we helped their team rebuild the native WordPress blog into a customized online journal. Collaboration was key. While their in-house team built the journal's core, our team helped redesign the strategic structure of key pages, developed advanced styling, re-organized data, and migrated content into the new layout.
