Understory Chocolat
(2026)
This is a self-initiated packaging project inspired by shade-grown cacao from tropical rainforest ecosystems. Fertile soil, dense vegetation, and lingering mist shape the environment in which the cacao grows, becoming the foundation of the brand’s visual language. Through restrained color palettes and minimal patterns, the packaging connects flavor with landscape. The three flavors, Dark Cinnamon, Peppermint, and Lavender Honey, are represented through brown, green, and pale blue-violet, reflecting soil, plant life, and mist within the rainforest.
