Modernising
Liang Cha, 
Herbal Tea

DECEMBER 2020, Individual











Bringing out the
wellness that is
already in you 




Branding, Brand System, Brand Experience
Packaging Design


Elixir is a pseudo-brand of liang cha—traditional Chinese herbal tea—that aims to deliver healthy drinks to the masses. With the bubble tea trends on the rise in Singapore, the brand positions liang cha as a healthier alternative thirst quencher that can dissipate the heat and detoxify the body.

THE TASK
Create a brand experience across the customer purchase journey of Elixir, creating a brand narrative, system and touchpoints that are able to meet the desires and needs of 15- to 35-Year-Old consumers.

   

THE CONCEPT—DISCOVERY  
“Bringing out the wellness that is already in you.”




















THE SHOP EXPERIENCE

Enter the modern and inclusive Liang Cha bar, serving herbal tea in a neutral-pink setting highlighted by backlight and neon lights.




Sip a drink powered by our wand and the wonders of Liang Cha at our bar, or take one home to share.

The drinks are named after aspirational verbs that reflect the benefits of the drink (i.e. THRIVE for Luo Han Guo fruit tea, rich in antioxidants). This aims to give a feeling of empowerment to their customers.




Sit back, enjoy, and explore.

Every cup/can has a QR code that brings customers to the website to
discovermore about the drink they have ordered.
