Kericho Gold Kenya Tea Product Photography

The product is Kericho Gold, a Kenyan tea brand with orange and green packs. The client wanted the frames to carry the origin story, so the set is dressed with safari props: animal silhouettes, a wooden crate, a safari hat and a small jeep. Loose leaf piles and brewed amber cups prove the product inside the pack. All 9 frames were shot at the AIMI Visual Media studio in Guangzhou, China.

Photography Challenges

1. Safari props can slide into theme park. Animal silhouettes and jeeps read as kitsch if overplayed. The props are kept small and soft-focus, so the tea pack stays the hero and the safari note stays a background story.

2. Loose leaf must look fresh, not dusty. Dried tea leaf goes gray under flat light. A warm raking key pulls the leaf edges into highlight, and the pile is composed with tweezers so the shape reads intentional.

3. Orange and green packs need one warm world. The two pack colors fight if the set is neutral. The warm amber grade and wooden surfaces hold both packs in one family.

Our Approach

Pack and leaf block.

Frames 01-04 establish the pack, the loose leaf and the brewed cup on a warm set with soft safari notes.

Prop story block.

Frames 05-07 add the jeep, the crate and the backdrop, keeping the props soft so the pack stays forward.

Group and closer.

Frames 08-09 finish with the full SKU group and the safari hat hero, tying the origin story to the product.

Post-production and delivery.

Retouching cleaned leaf fragments, matched the amber grade, and delivered 2000x2000px sRGB JPG plus WebP.

"Origin-story props work when they whisper, not shout. Keep them small, keep them soft, and let the tea pack carry the frame." — June, Product Photography Team Lead
