About The Entry
With "Insight into the tea origin" at its design core, this tea packaging constructs a dual narrative—physical framing and spiritual connection—unveiling an interactive terroir tour. Utilizing a copperplate engraving style, the design reinterprets the terroir, wildlife, and folk customs of the six major tea origins, along with a diverse color strategy to endow each tea with a region-specific character. The brand's signature IP character "Running Bunny" is subtly integrated into six different illustrations, including Huizhou lattice windows, Cantonese Qilou buildings, and Ceylon tea plantations, achieving a natural fusion of unified brand identity and localized cultural narratives, while presenting a classical retro yet contemporary elegant aesthetic.
The design adopts a multi-component design logic: an outer box, a metal tea caddy, and a "terroir boarding pass". The triple-progressive window structure turns the concept of "Insight" into a tangible experience. The outer box is crafted from specialty recycled paper containing 25% discarded tea residue, printed with soy-based eco-inks, and features continuous staggered hollow patterns. An elliptical window pairs with the caddy's artwork to form a layered, progressive viewfinder. The drawer-style box structure, combined with the inner "terroir boarding pass", transforms the unboxing action into a ritualistic tea-journey check-in. The zinc alloy lid knob replicates the brand motif, while the embedded crystal illustration carries the story of the origin's flavor. The functional inner lid features a recessed scale precisely adapted for 3g single-brew and 6g stewing scenarios, perfectly balancing aesthetic expression with practical utility.
This packaging design uses a compact footprint to transcend geographical distances. By combining eco-friendly materials with exquisite craftsmanship, it creates a tea journey carrier that is both collectible and narrative-driven, delivering an immersive tasting experience of "seeing the tea mountain before even brewing the tea".
