About the Client

Founded by Mona from a lifelong love of tea and Persian hospitality, Chai Affairs was created to introduce a new way of experiencing tea in North America. Inspired by the role tea plays in Iranian culture, the brand encourages people to slow down, experiment with flavours, and create their own memorable moments around a cup of tea.

As the business prepared to launch new products and expand its reach, it needed a website that could communicate the care behind every ingredient while creating a premium online shopping experience.

What Makes This Website Unique

Artisanal products deserve more than a standard online store.

For Chai Affairs, every tea blend, ingredient, and tea set carries a story rooted in craftsmanship, culture, and hospitality. Our challenge was to recreate the feeling of discovering these products in person where customers can see the colours, appreciate the ingredients, and imagine the experience they create, through a digital platform.

The website combines editorial layouts, immersive photography, thoughtful product organization, and storytelling to transform browsing into an experience of discovery, allowing visitors to connect with the products before they ever take their first sip.

Branding

Building the Chai Affairs brand was a collaborative process. As the project's creative strategists, we worked closely alongside the brand and packaging designer to shape a brand that felt authentic, distinctive, and commercially positioned for growth.

Our role was to define how the brand would be experienced, from the overall positioning and customer journey to the website structure, visual direction, photography, messaging, and ecommerce experience. Working in tandem with the team, we ensured every touchpoint communicated the same story: an artisanal tea brand rooted in Persian culture, craftsmanship, and meaningful connection.

The result is a cohesive brand ecosystem where the website, packaging, product photography, and customer experience work together to create a memorable and recognizable identity.

Beyond the Website

Working closely with Mona, the founder of Chai Affairs, throughout the project, we helped shape the overall customer journey, from organizing products and collections to refining how the brand's story is communicated online. Together with the brand and packaging designer, we created a digital experience where the website, packaging, photography, and product presentation feel like one cohesive brand.

The result is a flexible ecommerce platform that supports direct-to-consumer sales while also creating opportunities for gift sets, custom orders, wholesale partnerships, and future growth.
