If you’ve ever looked up while standing on a historic Charleston porch, you’ve likely seen it: Haint Blue.

For generations, this soft, ethereal aqua has been painted on porch ceilings across the Lowcountry. Originally intended to ward off "haints" or restless spirits, it has become a symbol of the Southern porch—a place of rest, long conversations, and, of course, a perfectly chilled glass of tea.

When we designed the Pinky's Up label, we moved toward this authentic coastal shade. We wanted our tea kits to feel like a piece of the Holy City. By pairing the protective tradition of Haint Blue with our elegant wisteria florals, we’ve created a look that is Playfully Proper: a nod to the past, with a fresh, modern pour.
