Saristi: The Art of Tea Packaging

Embracing the Power of Nature and Geometric Balance

In Greece, the birthplace of the concept of harmony, the design process for Saristi tea packaging follows the principles of geometric balance, simplicity, and harmony. Antonia Skaraki, the creative director, sought to unleash the power of nature into the best herbal mixtures, creating a truly unique and captivating experience.

The minimalistic design and style of the packaging are a testament to the designer's commitment to simplicity and elegance. Each box is adorned with geometric motifs and linear shapes, inspired by the complexity found in nature. The use of black and dark shades adds a touch of mystery and sophistication, making Saristi tea packaging a truly impeccable gift in itself.

Using paper as the primary material, the boxes are meticulously crafted to ensure a premium, elegant, and pleasant-to-touch experience. The dimensions of the boxes are 86 mm x 70 mm x 69 mm, providing ample space to house the carefully curated tea blends and infusions.

During the research phase, the design team combined representatives from the animal kingdom with each infusion, creating a unique visual identity for each blend. Ideal colors were chosen to represent specific moods that complement the distinct characteristics of each tea. This attention to detail ensures that Saristi tea packaging not only appeals to the senses but also tells a story.

One of the main challenges faced by the design team was creating packaging that would attract a wide range of audiences, regardless of age or taste preferences. The result is a modern and premium design that appeals to consumers who appreciate sophistication and elegance.

The Saristi tea packaging project was completed in 2018 in Athens, Greece. Since then, it has garnered recognition and accolades, including the Bronze A' Design Award in 2019. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that exhibit outstanding creativity, resourcefulness, and technical skills, contributing to improvements in quality of life.

With Saristi tea packaging, Antonia Skaraki has successfully captured the essence of nature's harmony and transformed it into an art form. The geometric balance, simplicity, and elegance of the design make it a true masterpiece in the world of tea packaging.
