ZENS Tea, Drink and Tableware Project

The holidays and entertaining season is almost upon us! (Hard to believe!) We are excited to share a new project with ZENS (https://www.zenslifestyle.com/), a modern teaware and home décor company combining minimalist design and traditional Asian elements. They design beautiful tea, drink and dishware to spruce up your next tablescape. To celebrate the season, this project will have you encourage your readers to seek out ZENS online and add it to their dish collection or give it as a gift. Find out more about ZENS here: https://www.zenslifestyle.com/

For this project, we are looking to work with six bloggers to develop and promote creative custom content around ZENS tea and foodware. The posts should inspire readers to make tea, a drink, a tablescape or entertain a crowd. Each blogger will be assigned to work with a particular tea or foodware item.

Check them out on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/zenslifestyle/) Pinterest (https://www.pinterest.com/zensliving/), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/zenslifestyle/) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/ZENSLifestyle).

If you are selected as one of the creators in this campaign, the brand will ship product directly to your home address. Bloggers must have a shipping address in the US or Canada in order to participate.

If you are selected for this project, participation guidelines are:
-Create one inspiring ZENS blog post that features your assigned product and on-brand messaging. This blog post will also be published on the Honest Cooking website. The post can be a recipe idea, an entertainment guide or anything else that you think is fitting for the product and your readership.
