Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the key characteristics of your tone (e.g., artisanal, mindful, knowledgeable), core values, and provide "do and don't" examples for writing. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Emphasize "Storytelling" over "Selling": Focus on the experience, the origin of the teas, the passion behind the craft, and the benefits (peace, connection) rather than just product features and price. Weave the "why" into your copy.
• •Use Sensory and Evocative Language: Appeal to the senses – describe the aroma, taste, appearance, and the feeling one gets from drinking the tea. Use words like "aromatic," "delicate," "robust," "soothing," "vibrant."
• •Maintain a Consistent Lexicon: Use words and phrases that align with the brand's artisanal and mindful nature (e.g., "handcrafted," "small batch," "ritual," "serenity," "nourish," "discover"). Avoid overly casual slang or corporate jargon.
• •Review and Refine Regularly: Periodically audit your website copy, product descriptions, and any marketing materials to ensure they still align with the established brand tone. As the brand evolves, the voice might need subtle adjustments, but the core should remain consistent.
