About Zhanlu Tea طراحی بسته‌بندی چای گیاهی

ژانلو یک طراحی برند و بسته‌بندی برای چای گیاهی است که برای آرامگاه امپراتور زرد خلق شده است. این مفهوم از تصویر شبنم صبحگاهی در شعر کلاسیک چینی الهام گرفته و بر خلوص و تغذیه‌ای سبک دلالت دارد. این ترکیب شامل میوه راهب، شیرین‌بیان، اوفیوپوگون، تمشک و مهر سلیمان است و از اصل سنتی پیروی می‌کند که بر اساس آن، طعم‌های ترش و شیرین در کنار هم به تولید رطوبت کمک می‌کنند. هر کیسه چای ۵ گرمی در یک ساشه ضدرطوبت مهر و موم شده است. جعبه‌های مقوایی روکش‌دار با چاپ افست و داغکوبی همراه با نقوش گرافیکی الهام‌گرفته از دوران هان تولید شده‌اند.

Unique Properties

Created for the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, it blends monk fruit, licorice, ophiopogon, raspberry, and Solomons seal, following the traditional principle that sour and sweet together help generate moisture. Warm, gentle, and balanced, it offers visitors a moment of natural comfort and a quiet connection to ancient wisdom.

Production Technology
Zhanlu is made with selected herbs that are cleaned, low temperature dried, and finely cut to preserve aroma and quality. The blend is packed into 5 g food grade tea bags and sealed in moisture proof sachets. Cartons and rigid gift boxes use coated paperboard with offset printing and hot stamping to present refined Han inspired graphics.
Design Challenge
The challenge was translating traditional wellness philosophy into a contemporary product without losing cultural depth. Rooted in classical theory, the concept had to remain clear and appealing to modern users. The key was balancing herbal efficacy, taste, symbolism, and packaging in one refined and coherent design.
Research
This project explores how traditional Chinese wellness philosophy can be translated into contemporary cultural product design. Based on the principle that sour and sweet flavors generate moisture, the formula blends monk fruit, licorice, polygonatum, ophiopogon, and raspberry to support gentle hydration. Inspired by classical poetry and Han aesthetics, the packaging reinterprets traditional symbolism in a modern tea product, linking heritage, health, and mindful self care.
Inspiration
The inspiration for Zhanlu comes from the image of morning dew in ancient Chinese poetry, pure, quiet, and life giving. It draws from the sacred atmosphere of the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, especially the ancient cypress trees that have endured for millennia. The concept of light nourishment and the traditional principle that sour and sweet create moisture shaped the formula, expressing harmony between nature, heritage, and gentle self care.
Project Duration
The project was completed on February 18, 2026. The client is based in the Yangtze River Delta region of China. Concept development, herbal formulation research, and packaging design were carried out in Xian, Shaanxi Province, China. The project integrates regional cultural resources with contemporary design practice, bridging eastern market demand and northwestern cultural heritage context.
Operation Flow
Open the outer carton or gift box and remove one individually sealed sachet. Tear open the moisture proof wrapper and place one 5 g tea bag into a cup. Add approximately 250 to 300 ml of hot water and steep for 3 to 5 minutes. The tea gradually releases a gentle sweetness and light herbal aroma.

After touring the mausoleum, visitors hold the warm cup, pause, and sip slowly. The interaction is simple and intuitive, open, brew, inhale, taste, creating a quiet ritual that connects body, breath, and cultural memory in a brief moment of nourishment.
