The Brand

Tulsi Tea is a heritage tea brand established in 1981, serving millions of loyal customers across the state. It has a widespread network of over 80,000 retail touchpoints, 400+ distributors. The brand serves awide range of SKUs and is on its way to modernising and pushing the boundaries in the tea industry.

01 The Challenges

Tulsi Tea already had a strong distribution network and presence across Gujarat. However, the brand needed a distinctive narrative that would:
  • Connect deeply with the Gujarati cultural identity
  • Strengthen emotional resonance with consumers
  • Build a recognisable and memorable brand personality
  • Increase visibility across both traditional and digital platforms
The challenge was to transform Tulsi Tea from simply a product brand into a cultural symbol of Gujarati tea traditions.

02 The Solution

Communication Crafts developed an integrated campaign designed to celebrate Gujarat’s deep-rooted tea culture and position Tulsi Tea as a brand that truly represents the spirit of Gujarati consumers.

The campaign – “Chadhe ગુજરાTEA Rang” was a culturally rooted insight-based campaign celebrating the vibrant colours of Gujarati tea culture.

At the heart of the campaign was Tulsiben, a mascot representing the warmth, wisdom, and authenticity of Gujarati households. Portrayed by the acclaimed actress – Supriya Pathak, the character became the face of the brand, embodying the pride Gujaratis take in their tea and its perfect colour.

The campaign extended across multiple touchpoints, including:

  • Corporate branding and brand guidelines
  • Packaging design and brand merchandise
  • Social media campaigns and digital creatives
  • Television commercials and video content
  • Outdoor advertising including hoardings and shop boards
  • Marketplace creatives and online promotions
  • On-ground activations such as kiosks and van branding

03 The Result

By combining storytelling, cultural symbolism, and integrated marketing channels, the campaign positioned Tulsi Tea as a brand deeply rooted in Gujarati identity.
