Five Senses has been roasting coffee in Australia for over 20 years—that’s a long time for anything, but in the specialty coffee world it is truly epic. But sometimes classic brands need a refresh. We caught up with Five Senses’ marketing director Ashley Brian to learn more about their colorful refresh and new eco-friendly packaging. “Our sticker designs have really taken a journey of their own over recent years to become something of a piece of art,” says Brian. “Plus we’ve also finally made the move to recyclable bags.”
Brian isn’t kidding when describing their labels as a work of art. Teaming up with design agency Juicebox, the pair create an artistic impression of each coffee’s unique sensory experiences in vivid color. We spoke with Brian and the Five Senses team to learn more.
