The new design draws inspiration from the Yorkshire countryside,

culture and spirit with the goal to convey its natural beauty
through design.
It appeals to a younger audience - the future tea drinkers through
more modern applications such as landscape photography,
sourced from independent Yorkshire photographers. This works
together in harmony with the warm feeling created when drinking
a proper cup of tea.

Focusing on the Yorkshire countryside through photography, the

image of the box has been brought into the modern era. The logo
has been refined, stripped back and decluttered retaining its
essential elements for a more impactful appearance.
Experimentation on the overall look and feel of the box has lead
to the removal of the vertical red stripe, in order to unobstruct the
imagery. This gives more focus to the gorgeous photographs of
the Yorkshire countryside.

A panoramic view of the Yorkshire countryside seamlessly

wraps around the outside of the box. This complements the vast
extraordinary scenic views.

All aspects of the box have been modified and updated to create a
modern aesthetically pleasing piece of design, which appeals to a
younger audience. The red has been retained in order to highlight
the lid. This adds a strong, bold presence to the box, on the store
shelf and in the cupboard at home.
The Royal Appointment, which sits on the front of the boxs lid, is
also placed on the top of the box itself. When the lid is extended to
its open position, the Royal Appointment remains overlayed on the
landscape. This adds an interactive element to the box.
