Why take a chance on young pu erh teas, hoping they’ll mature well, when you can choose this perfectly aged Yiwu Mountain tea cake?

Crafted from high-quality tea leaves harvested from ancient trees on Yiwu Mountain in the spring of 2019, this tea is a true testament to its origin.

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.
