THE CHALLENGE

The Queen’s Tea Box, founded by the award-winning jelly maker behind Jelly Queens, needed to launch a new venture that would honor old-world tradition while creating a modern, welcoming brand. The business wasn’t just about jellies—it was about building a lifestyle brand centered around hospitality, heritage, and heartfelt gatherings.

But here’s the challenge: How do you take something steeped in quiet elegance and make it stand out in the noisy digital space—especially with no prior digital footprint?

APPROACH

1. Discovery and Analysis

– We started by getting to know Donna—the founder—and her story, which is woven into every jar, teacup, and recipe.

– We evaluated the transition from Jelly Queens to The Queen’s Tea Box, identifying what needed to stay (award-winning flavor, authenticity) and what needed to grow (brand tone, design language, digital presence).

2. Strategy Development

– We leaned into themes of “graceful nostalgia” and “quiet joy” to frame the brand’s voice.

– Rather than going bold or trendy, we created a visual and messaging strategy built on calm, consistency, and elegance—with a touch of charm.

– Every element was treated as part of a unified experience, from business cards to web wireframes.

RESULTS

While still in pre-launch, The Queen’s Tea Box has:

1. Garnered pre-orders and interest from previous Jelly Queens customers
2. Created buzz through early collateral and one-day event invitations
3. Built strong foundations for long-term brand memory, with feedback like “It feels like home already” and “This is exactly what tea should feel like”

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Client Name: The Queen’s Tea Box
Industry: Specialty Food & Experiences (Tea Parties, Jellies, Baking Classes)
Project Duration: February 2025 – Present
Services Provided: Branding, Invitation Design, Web Design

THE OBJECTIVES

Objective 1: Develop a warm, cohesive brand identity that reflects the charm and grace of the founder’s vision

Objective 2: Design branded materials to support soft-launch events and generate early interest

Objective 3: Begin building a website experience that feels like stepping into a tea party—refined, calming, and memorable

IMPLEMENTATION

Branding

– Created a full brand identity rooted in vintage tea illustrations and soft color palettes—cream, blush, and muted sage.

– Designed business cards and digital collateral to support soft-launch announcements.

Invitation Design

– Produced printed and digital invitations for early events and gatherings—each tailored to feel like a hand-delivered welcome.

– Used pencil sketch elements, teacup imagery from Donna’s global collection, and thoughtful copy that aligned with the brand’s “gather and grace” philosophy.

Website Design

– Built a content-first structure based on the emotional journey of a visitor: from curiosity to connection to conversion.

– Drafted homepage, shop, events, and recipe content designed to feel like stepping into a slower, more intentional moment.

– The web copy balances commerce (selling tea packages, jellies) with connection (classes, recipes, monthly menus).
