Tea Heritage is a wonderful Lyon-based loose leaf tea brand, and they asked me to illustrate their Christmas packaging and advent calendar range.

I worked the set in pen and ink, building the imagery around a festive botanical vocabulary — foliage, swags and ornamental framing drawn to suit each small window of the calendar. The illustrations were designed as a coherent set across the advent grid, while each day stood on its own as a small daily reveal.

The final artworks appeared across Tea Heritage's Christmas packaging and advent calendar production.
