i chose the arizona tea bottle just because i believe it is one of great design. they did a great job in making the bottle have a very oriental look. the ornamnets on the bottle almost give a hand crafted look to it and the colours and lines are as if they were individually painted on the bottle. the letter contain gold again going to the theme of asia and richness. the design is more thematic and really works well, it gives this idea of tea and asiatic culture . the design really separates from the other teas on the shelf , it almost imposes itself as a higher quality drink just by the look and design.

The designers of the Green Tea logo definitely understood the history and facts about Asian culture and design, which is needed to represent an Asian-oriented drink. The colorful, organic flowers, curvilinear lines, typeface and the shape surrounding the type add interest to the label and mimic the designs of past Asian art and typography.

Unlike many beverage containers today, this bottle is quite ornate and really does give me an Asian feel. It almost looks like it was imported because of how well the color-scheme and type fit with an Asian style. I normally like simple designs over decorative ones, but this is incredibly well done and is purposeful in its decorative quality.

I agree with yall I like the very decorative feel that Arizona tea bottle has. Normally I think it would be to much but in this situation it works. If I drank tea I would probably buy it because the package design is pleasing to the eye.

This bottle definitely does have the Asian feel. It would be easy to make this bottle too decorative, but I think the designer found a good balance between taking symbolic imagery and matching it with the product and the type. The bottle itself gives you the since of what's inside is herbal almost medicinal just because of the packaging, it's kind of crazy how a simple package design can give you different feelings... no?

I love this bottle. I think that the color is great at standing apart from the other drinks you see. I mean there aren't many light green drink packages out there. Also the design that they used to go around the bottom and incorporates the type really channels aspects of Asian culture.

I appreciate the ornamentation for the green tea. It conveys classic element and gives age to a fairly new product. The ornamentation reminds me of the monks the illuminated manuscripts before movable type because it consists of a highly curvature form.
