it's the first time I use this format. It's such an easy way to carry and use. I only tasted one, but the experience was very good. The leaves unpacked themselves on a long period. I drank that tea for half a day, during writing, just adding water and directly pouring it, the taste evolved all along.

Great fruity flavor that opens up more and more as it brews. I was more comfortable with the combined method, the eastern method up to the first minute, then the western method, when I doubled each subsequent time.

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.
