ZIWAN TEA

Country / Region

China

This tea packaging draws inspiration from ancient Chinese ceremonial tablets (Hu). Its thoughtful, modern design reimagines the historical spirit of 鈥減resenting counsel with devotion, bearing national responsibility鈥 into a contemporary social philosophy: 鈥渋nitiating trust with tea, connecting hearts with ritual.鈥 Every tea brewing thus carries profound cultural resonance and emotional value.
Through a synergistic interplay of the physical structure and visual language, the unboxing experience unfolds as a threefold ritual: Unfolding鈥擱eading鈥擲avoring. The outer box echoes the elegant motion of a palace memorial (Zouzhe) being opened horizontally for the emperor鈥檚 review, while its inner side features handwritten calligraphy that merges cursive script with memorial-style typography, presenting the brand鈥檚 manifesto. This design invites consumers into an immersive cultural dialogue between the past and the present. Inside, the tea pouch abstractly reflects the 鈥淗u鈥 form with a striking 20cm elongated silhouette, presenting the full form of Wuyi rock tea leaves while creating a distinctive product identity. Design ingenuity extends to the refined color palette鈥擵ermilion Gold, Elegant Purple, and Hu-Inspired White鈥攅ach thoughtfully chosen to reflect cultural symbolism and natural elements. Together, they convey a sense of nobility and solemnity while aligning with contemporary aesthetic preferences. Notably, a subtle accent of the brand鈥檚 signature Elegant Purple symbolizes the withering stage in rock tea processing, a quiet yet meaningful detail that strengthens the tea鈥檚 connection to its terroir.
Beyond its cultural and aesthetic value, the packaging adheres to eco-friendly principles by utilizing FSC-certified paperboard and plant-based inks鈥攚ithout compromising on quality. The entire design strikes a harmonious balance between ceremonial elegance and ecological responsibility, demonstrating what a mindful design can offer.
