About Rock Rhyme Tea Pacadh Tì

'S e dealbhadh pacaidh airson Wuyi Rock Tea a th' ann an Rock Rhyme Tea, tì oolong Sìneach. Tha an dealbhadh air a bhrosnachadh le lusan tì a' fàs ann an sgoltaidhean chreagan. Tha inneachan glas-creige air an cur còmhla ri eileamaidean bloc-fiodha Rìoghrachas Song agus stràcan-bruise nuadh-aimsireil. Anns an t-seata tha canastairean tì, sreath de bhotail airson tì fhuar-ghrùdadh agus leabhran a tha a' mìneachadh na ciùird thraidiseanta dà cheum dheug. Tha stuthan aotrom a' dèanamh aithris air coltas fìor chreige, agus tha na canastairean a-staigh a' cleachdadh stuthan a tha dìonach an aghaidh taiseachd agus solais. Tha giùlanairean ròpa cainbe air am fighe le làimh a' toirt gu cuimhne duilleagan tì toinnte. Tha am pacadh freagarrach an dà chuid airson stòradh dachaigh agus siubhal.

Production Technology: The gift boxes and tea canisters are made from lightweight materials that simulate the appearance of real rock. To preserve the tea, the inner canisters and cold-brew bottles use moisture-proof and light-blocking materials. For the carriers, we hand-wove hemp ropes to mimic the twisted texture of traditional rock tea leaves. This design combines traditional handcraft with modern material technology to ensure both aesthetics and functionality.
Design Challenge: To move away from traditional tea canister designs, we challenged ourselves to make the packaging look like real rocks while overcoming mass production limits. We used lightweight materials to achieve this heavy stone appearance. Additionally, we had to ensure that the hand-woven hemp rope carriers were functional and strong enough for daily use.
Research: This research employs a multi-dimensional approach to cultural and market repositioning. By analyzing the 12-step traditional tea-making process alongside semi-structured interviews with a 20-person youth demographic, we identified a significant generational aesthetic gap. Our findings revealed that 85% of target users desired a fusion of historical heritage and modern convenience. Consequently, this project strategically utilizes sensory innovation and youthful visual languages to transform an ancient cultural asset into a commercially viable, high-growth lifestyle product for the global market.
Inspiration: This project is inspired by Rock Tea growing in cliff crevices. As a type of Chinese Oolong tea, our goal is to attract young consumers through youthful packaging, bridging the gap between tea culture and the new generation. Based on research into the 12-step traditional craft and modern tea trends, we transformed rugged rock textures into a contemporary gift experience for the youth market.
Project Duration: The project started in December 2025 in Taiwan and finished in March 2026 in Taiwan, and was exhibited in Young Designers' Exhibition (YODEX) in May 2026 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The gift set uses a simple top-and-bottom lid structure. To access the tea, users lift the main cover to find two large canisters for long-term storage and one small canister for single-use outdoor brewing. All tea canisters feature sealed lids that are opened by pulling the top cover. For immediate drinking, the cold-brew series uses a standard twist-cap bottle. This design allows users to easily switch between home storage and on-the-go convenience.
