GUEST – Glen Bowers, co-founder of Red Lotus Tea, Seattle

PLUS | Compelling Packaging

Tea packaging is not just about aesthetics—it is a strategic tool for brand positioning, customer engagement, and market differentiation. Well-designed and functional packaging can significantly impact a customer's decision to purchase and repurchase a tea.

This week, Seattle-based Red Lotus Tea co-founder Glen Bowers joins correspondent Jessica Natale Woollard for an insightful discussion on the company’s artist-inspired, eye-catching designs, vibrant colors, and clear branding on Pu’er wrappers that entice new tea drinkers to try these exotic dark teas from Yunnan.

BIO: Crimson Lotus is a Seattle-based company specializing in Yunnan Pu’er. Now, they’ve departed from those packaging traditions and brought tea-cake wrapper designs into the modern era. Crimson Lotus works with artists in the United States and China to design compelling packaging that reflects the tea beyond the wrapper. Think of the style of artwork you see on Western craft beer labels or chocolate bar labels: bright colors, modern graphic illustrations, and often edgy imagery, with artwork specifically chosen to tell the story of the product inside the package.
