TGL Co. Instant Coffee
TGL Co. Instant Coffee
Making a new coffee challenger brand stand shoulder to shoulder with the legends
The Good Life Company (TGL Co.) TGL, one of the fastest growing hot beverages startups in India, known for their luxury teas, wanted to launch speciality coffees. They appointed us to design the structure and packaging for their instant coffee bottles. Having worked with TGL Co. before, for their tea retail and luxury gift packs, we had unflinching trust in the brand. We knew that their product would be one of the best, if not the finest, in the market. We put this trust to test, a blind test at that, in our own office, where we pitted TGL coffees against the finest known coffees. Not so surprisingly, maximum people preferred TGL’s taste over any other coffee.TGL sources their coffee from the finest plantations from South India, we wanted to keep this story of ‘India for the world’ as our base of structure design and took inspiration from the traditional filter coffee maker found in south Indian homes. Combined with the classic shape of the Italian stovetop moka pot, this gave us a unique contemporary structure flexible enough to be adapted in different sizes.
Everything from the grip of the bottle for firm hold to the mouth that allowed the smallest to largest spoon to enter, underwent stringent user-experience testing. The bottle was designed in way that you can see the coffee level going down, telling you when to buy next.
The packaging was designed to reflect simple, yet smooth luxury. Much like the blind tasting experience.
The brand is doing exceptional sales numbers and now stands shoulder to shoulder with its competition in leading retail stores across India and UAE. And the race has only just begun.
