The "Xiao Fa Tuo" or "Sell To France" tuo is a classic Xiaguan Ripe Pu-erh that has been enjoyed by tea enthusiasts since the 1970s. As the first offical export Pu-erh to the West (France), it carries a rich history. The 2020 Ripe tuo is exceptionally smooth, engulfing the senses in a camphor and wood fragrance while delighting one's taste buds with its inherent sweet aftertaste. Highly versatile, this tea can be stored for further aging or enjoyed now.

Our design work is inspired by the artwork “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” by the Zhang Zeduan in the Song Dynasty. Instead of displaying the daily lives of people in the capital of China (as the original artwork), we display the tea making process of farmers through the same bird’s eye perspective.

When examining our packaging design in detail, tea enthusiasts will observe the tea making process, featuring tea farmers picking, drying, rolling, and frying tea leaves. The tea is then tasted in a pavilion and transported by horses along the ‘ancient tea road’.

Together, the traditional Chinese landscape and tea making theme, symbolise heritage, tradition, and respect for hard work of tea farmers.
