The images of Tea and Teaism has always been calm, elegant, traditional and peaceful for decades. This is an experiment on subverting such stereotypes of tea. Redness of black tea reminds me of blood and danger while green tea is related to Japanese culture. The collaboration of the two suggests geisha and her significant red lips which is a reminiscent of uncanniness and horror.
Think differently can be surprisingly good. Break the limits and you can find a different self.
