Steps to Come Up With Your Own Tea Company Name

A box of tea options.

If you don’t have a brilliant name idea yet, the first thing to do is put on your research cap. You know what you are selling, but you don’t want to encroach on someone else’s trademark. Do your research on other brands, both locally and nationally, so you can be confident the name idea is unique.

One of the best places to start the name validation is on Google. Search your brand name idea and see what else pops up? If the name idea passes this first vital step head on over to the United States Patent and Trademark Office database. This tool works similar to Google and sees who has officially registered for a trademark, but not be easy to find through a regular website search.

Calling All Founders: Get a New Food Business Case Study (with Revenue Numbers) Delivered to Your Inbox Each Week for Free

Here’s where a lot of new beverage founders get things wrong. Remember you’re creating a brand for the business, not describing a single product or beverage. If you name yourself the Raspberry Herbal Tea Emporium as an example, many consumers perception will be that you only make raspberry flavored teas. Make sure that your name reflects the larger tea brand and doesn’t limit you future product lines and flavors.

Here are some additional best practices for naming beverage brands:

  • Avoid brand names that are hard to spell, or too complicated in their pronunciation.
  • Make the name simple and easy to remember and communicate is important for both physical and word-of-mouth advertising and memory. Make your tea brand easy for people to remember.
  • You could use rhyming to come up with an innovative tea brand. Examples: The Tea Plea, The Tea Bee, Tea and We.
  • Use your own name to differentiate the brand. Example: Tom’s Tea & Toast, Kelly’s Tasty Teas
  • Use a town or other location name to create a distinct brand. Example: The New York Tea Company and North Dakota Tea Traders
  • Brainstorm ideas in a notebook. Carry around a pen and notepad in case you come up with ideas while you’re out on a walk.

With tea brands, the names can be associated with the varieties of tea that exist. There’s no shortage of options if you’re a little bit creative and use a few of the guidelines described above. Just remember to stay clear of names that already in use and you’ll be positioned well to enter this $12 billion market.
