Exhibitor’s Stories
Saudade is a brand of organic tea. Its commitment to Japan is evident in its packaging, designed by one-stop Japanese design agency canaria inc. On one side of the packaging, watercolour landscapes show where the tea leaves are from.

This modern bilingual packaging for Japanese tea is a first in Japan, and promotes their centuries-old green tea tradition and culture worldwide. Tea drinkers can take a break from their busy lives and enjoy both the tea and its handsome packaging.
