The coin opens nicely in the gaiwan. Inital smell is deeply sweet with floral and certain 'animalic qualities to it'. I can brew this tea easily for 7 and more brews. Taste, like aroma is floral and fruity, with a oily texture. Later brews give more astringency and minerality in a enjoyable fashion. I am happy with this tea!

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.
