About DouChaSai Tea
DouChaSai is a packaging design created for a tea honoured at a folk tea competition held at Wuyi Mountain in 2018. The box measures 160 by 40 by 245 millimetres and is made of special paper, finished with screen spot colour printing, bronzing and transfer metal stickers. Chinese calligraphy covers the surface, following the meaning and structure of the words for tea competition. The strokes are thick and drawn with tension, so the writing also reads as a painting. Inside the box are a small tea box and a collection certificate.
