• •Quality
• •Accessibility/Affordability
• •Customer Experience

Best Practices

• •Emphasize the "Freshness" Narrative: Consistently highlight direct sourcing, the journey from estate to cup, and the vibrant quality of the teas. Use words like "freshly," "vibrant," "aromatic," "direct from the gardens."
• •Share the Founders' Passion: Weave in the "Our Story" element where appropriate to make the brand relatable and convey the authentic love for Indian tea.
• •Educate and Inform: Position Freshcarton as knowledgeable. Share brewing tips, details about tea regions, flavor profiles, and the benefits/nuances of different tea types. This builds trust and authority.
• •Use Sensory Language: Describe the teas vividly – their aroma, color, taste, and the feeling they evoke. Help the customer imagine the experience of drinking Freshcarton tea.
• •Maintain a Balance of Refinement and Warmth: The tone should be sophisticated enough to reflect premium quality but also friendly and inviting, encouraging exploration and community (e.g., the Tea Club). Avoid overly technical jargon unless explaining specific tea grades to an informed audience.

Social Perception

Generally perceived as good quality for the price, with appreciation for direct sourcing and focus on Indian teas. Some tea enthusiasts may desire more detailed information on specific tea estates and harvest dates. Potential brand confusion due to older, grocery-focused social media accounts.
