TEA HOUSES ARE ESTAbLISHMENTS WHICH PRIMARILY SERVE TEA ANd OTHER LIGHT REFRESHMENTS ANd OFTEN PROVIdE A CENTER OF SOCIAL INTERACTION.
11
There are many ideas as to where afternoon tea originated and when.
Afternoon tea, also known as ‘low tea,’ is what most people think of
when they hear ‘high tea.’ It involves things like manners, lace and dainty
foods. It is typically served in the mid-afternoon and it was traditionally
served on low tables, hence its two names. Historically, afternoon tea was
considered to be a ladies’ social occasion, and it is more often enjoyed by
women than men to this day.
The history of the tea house however is said to have began with Thomas
Twining who opened the first known tea room in 1706, which still re-
mains at 216 Strand, London.
The definition of a tea room varies from culture to culture. In the U.K.
tea rooms serve beverages and light meals and are traditional in London
hotels. A tea room is called Salon de thé in France, and pastries and
cakes are also served. In China, a tea house is traditionally similar to
the American cafe, albeit centered around tea. People gather at tea
houses to chat, socialize, and enjoy tea, and young people often meet
at tea houses for dates.
12
At CUPPA we value tradition and experience because we have a goal that our customers will always enjoy a refreshing setting while sipping on tea and eating de-lightful sweets in a traditional manner.

bRANdMARK
LOGOTYPE
TAGLINE
The CUPPA brandmark symbolizes the ease of drinking tea. The circular shape is remi-niscent of the tea cup. CUPPA will create an experience for the patron so the circular shape represents the long moments of sitting with another person. The brandmark can only exist in this black and white manor with the white “cuppa” in the center.
The logotype uses Knockout HTF26-Junior-Flyweight. This sans serif is a simple and over-all neutral typeface perfect for a modern tea house. The logotype can function on its own or be used for headers on documents.
The tagline or essence “Fine Place. Fine Tea,” embodies the type of tea house CUPPA is. It is a place where the atmosphere can surround someone with complete comfort and leisure. The tea wil l also be of the finest quality for drinking. This mark can be used in white or black as a detail moment. Located on the back of printed materials, it can not however, exist on the same scale as the brandmark.

The imagery consists of color images of the tea and atmo-sphere along with vintage black and white photos to show the traditionalism and sophistication of CUPPA. Along with the rest of the brand the pattern consists of the circular shape from the cup. This is also only to be used in the colors of black and white.

For CUPPA’s website the colors stay consistent by staying with the black and white with the addition of imagery. The website would navigate from reservations, menus, and the location. This is also a place for new patron’s to learn about the history and essence of the brand.
47
The iPhone application would be used primarily for customers to make reservations. Just like the web page the application stay minimal with the use of black and white while using the brandmark centered on the screen.
48
CUPPA offers a House Blend that would be sold at the tea house. The packaging uses the CUPPA pattern as well as the soft script reading “sip” so the customers get the sense of time and leisure that comes with drinking tea.

Aprons can be worn by the employees. They offer ease as well as comfort. Another chance to create an experi-ence for the customers as well which can be purchased and taken home by the patrons.
