Has Climate Change Affected Our Tea?

Inspired by her South Asian roots, The Bright Agency artist Kushiaania painted a mural in Shoreditch, illustrating how climate change affects the people who grow and pick the tea we all love to drink every day.

Climate change really started to show its face this summer and has tested us all with the high temperatures, drought and wildfires. Kush wants to raise both her voice and awareness for the workers in India plucking the tea leaves.

Even though the warning signs of the climate crisis have been clearer than ever, the government still hasn’t taken action. This is what inspired Kush to paint the mural in Shoreditch. Go and check it out at 1 Quaker Street near Boxpark!

Yorkshire Tea

Yorkshireman Andrew Hutchinson was delighted to be asked to re-design the packaging for Taylors of Harrogate's iconic "Yorkshire Tea" and "Yorkshire Gold" brands. The brief was to make a more realistic style of image without significantly changing the overall look of the package. The illustration was also to include familiar features of the Yorkshire countryside; Andrew's painting captures it's beauty, the Dales' Ribblehead viaduct, Castle Bolton and the Moors' Rosedale mines. Super job!
