In a collaboration between the historic Taiwan Tea Corporation and NOVA DESIGN, Tea Tipsy integrates the circular economy into product design.
By repurposing low-value tea stalks and residues from the roasting process, Tea Tipsy transforms agricultural waste into innovative, high-value materials. This project not only reduces waste but also drives a century-old brand toward a sustainable, ESG-focused future.

SCOPE OF WORK
專案內容
Taking the aroma emitted during the tea-roasting process as a creative starting point, Tea Tipsy addresses the modern need for stress relief and emotional well-being.
Unlike conventional essential oils or scented candles, Tea Tipsy repurposes discarded natural materials from the tea-making process as its fragrance core. Through innovative design and rigorous experimentation, we identified the optimal material composition and form to maximize the tea’s natural aromatic properties. This approach not only reduces agricultural waste but also creates significant economic value for tea byproducts, earning the project a prestigious iF Design Award.
