The brief

In Egyptian homes, tea is a ritual. It anchors family gatherings and signals warmth and welcome. Haya needed a brand that carried that cultural meaning honestly, without the generic pharaoh cliches that flatten most Egypt-inspired packaging, and a label system that could stretch across multiple flavors without losing coherence.

Approach

The identity starts with the name. Haya, meaning life, frames tea as vitality and community rather than a commodity. Each flavor received its own floral mark drawn from traditional Egyptian motifs: distinct plants, one illustration style, one gold treatment. A single label grid holds wordmark, motif, and flavor name in the same positions on every bottle, so the range shelves as a family while each flavor stays recognizable at a glance.

Color does the flavor coding. Warm amber for ginger, deep red-brown for herbal, and soft green for mint sit against glass and liquid, letting the product itself become part of the palette.

Outcome

The finished system gives Haya a shelf presence with real roots. Flavor variants stay clearly differentiated while reading as one brand, and the motif library extends cleanly into social content, merchandise, and future flavors.
