Starbucks has redesigned its signature paper cups to better suit its brand new tea bar, Teavana. The new design is meant to "evoke the feeling of drinking from porcelain china," which is somehow achieved by giving the cups a curvier lid and a "feathery, foamy" embossed paper cup that is insulated so it can go sleeveless. Says Starbucks' Creative Director for Emerging Brands: "It's a Zen moment, and the cup should reflect that." Teavana is expected to debut in Seattle later this month. [Fast Co via Eater National]
