How this green tea is made
-
Picking
Tea leaves are hand-picked in the morning.
-
Withering
Leaves are shortly withered to eliminate some moisture.
-
Fixation (pan-frying)
Leaves are roasted on a wok to halt oxidation.
-
Rolling
Tea leaves are rolled to shape them as desired.
-
Drying
Tea leaves are dried to reduce moisture to a minimum.
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.
