About The Entry

There is currently a lack of tools specifically designed for cold brew tea, with most people using empty bottles or cold brew coffee makers as substitutes, which fail to capture the unique process and experience of brewing cold brew tea.

We aim to design a cold brew tea maker that enhances the sense of ritual and increases user engagement and interaction during the brewing process. Inspired by the tea ceremonies of China and Japan, we explore how to enhance the visual and functional aspects of cold brew tea and address issues such as long waiting times and monotonous experiences, creating a visually appealing yet practical cold brew tea maker.
