Description: A whimsical illustration features a large, pink elephant with its trunk raised, pouring tea from a green teapot into a delicate teacup. A small, blue mouse wearing a green top hat and bow tie sits on the elephant's head, holding another teacup. The elephant has its eyes closed and a gentle smile, holding a teacup near its mouth. The text "TEA TIME" is prominently displayed at the top in bold, dark blue letters, with the cursive phrase "Always a good time" below it.
Description: In 1892, the brothers Pétrus and Lazare Digonnet founded a company for the import, manufacture, and sale of tea under the name of Maison P.L. Digonnet et Cie in Marseille, France. Their primary tea line was sold under the Thé de l'Éléphant (or simply Éléphant) brand, and was the first label to introduce scented infusions in France, moving beyond traditional black teas to gourmet herbal blends and expanding the palates of French tea enthusiasts. This design is based on the mid-century advertising for Thé de l'Éléphant that featured a clean, playful art style.
