About Golden Seasons Brick Упакоўка для гарбаты

Golden Seasons Brick — гэта дызайн упакоўкі для прэсаваных брыкетаў гарбаты пуэр. Знешняя абгортка выраблена са спецыяльнай паперы з антыкварнай фактурай, аздобленай выціснутымі матывамі пячатак і цісненнем залатой фальгой. Унутры двухслаёвая скрынка-шуфляда з залатога кардону і шэрага пераплётнага кардону змяшчае васямнаццаць брыкетаў, загорнутых у залатую фальгу, па дзевяць у кожным латку. Проціўдарныя ячэйкі абараняюць брыкеты падчас перавозкі. Кожны брыкет важыць чатыры грамы — лічба, якая пераклікаецца са словамі «чатыры поры года» ў кітайскай мове. Латкі можна замяняць, таму скрынку можна напаўняць нанова і выкарыстоўваць паўторна.

Unique Properties
Golden Seasons Brick Cultural narratives empower functionality. The name vintage (homophone for "cultural relics" ) embodies temporal depth through three imprints: mountain veins, tea leaves, and fingerprints. The 4g brick (phonetically "Four Seasons" ) is gold-foil sealed as a time capsule. Imperial seal engravings elevate tea brewing into a collectible ritual, redefining Guochao (China's cultural renaissance) tea experiences for modern mobility.
Dimensions & Packaging
80mmx80mmx40mm box with dual-layer structure (2 trays x 9 bricks). The 9x2 configuration mirrors the Eastern philosophy of (9x9 returning to unity), symbolizing cyclical renewal.
Tags
Modular​, Travel-friendly, Tea Brick, ​Cultural Relic​, ​Imperial Seal​, ​Biophilic​, ​Travel Essentials​
Production Technology
Outer Sleeve​ Antique-textured specialty paper with debossed imperial seals. Gold foil stamps highlight the Vintage brand and tea brick details.
Inner Structure​ Dual-layer drawer box (gold cardstock + eco greyboard) holds 9 gold-foil-wrapped tea bricks per layer. Anti-shock slots prevent breakage during travel. Refillable design reduces packaging waste.
Design Challenge
Vintage resolves the ritual-portability paradox through a threefold symbolic system (mountain/tea/fingerprint textures). We translated imperial seals into tactile geometric patterns, paired with a 4g brick (phonetic "Four Seasons" in Chinese) that bridges nature, tea, and human craft.
Research
Vintage addresses tea-drinking challenges for mobile youth by reinterpreting Qing emperors’ seal motifs (Qianlong/Yongzheng) into minimalist icons. The 4g brick, phonetically echoing “Four Seasons” in Chinese, is gold-foil wrapped as a cultural time capsule. Its modular system (replaceable FSC-certified trays) enables 20-second brewing anywhere, boosting reorders by 300% while educating sustainable habits through packaging reusability and material circularity.
Inspiration
In fast paced urban life and frequent travel, modern individuals seek moments of respite through natural rituals that soothe the body and mind.
Vintage embraces "Tea Accompanies the Seasons," distilling the rich flavor of Yunnan ancient tree Pu-erh and the serene aesthetics of Eastern artifacts into a 4g portable "Four Seasons Gold Brick." The "4g" cleverly symbolizes the seasons, allowing the tea’s aroma to flow with nature’s rhythms, seamlessly integrating into work, home, and travel.
Project Duration
Project Timeline: Initiated in Shenzhen, China (September 2024) and delivered as a market-ready packaging system by January 2025
Operation Flow
Ritual Reboot​ Removing the belly band becomes a ceremonial unboxing act, mirroring Gen-Z's cultural pride in China's heritage.
Functional Luxury​ 18 golden bricks arranged in vault-like precision. 20-second brew ritual balances extravagance and efficiency.
