About Tamausagi Te á flösku
Tamausagi er japanskt te á flösku, bruggað úr Uji Gyokuro, tei sem framleitt er með hinni hefðbundnu Uji-aðferð frá Kyoto. Flaskan hefur einfalt form, innblásið af wabi-sabi, japanskri fagurfræði einfaldleikans. Táknið er kanína sem leiddi verndarguð Uji. Flaskan sýnir tunglskinsnótt með þunnum skýjum, tilvísun í Gyokuro-aðferðina þar sem telaufin eru skyggð frá sólinni. Gyllt skreyting með grófri áferð og hóflegum ljóma er notuð. Svarta flaskan hindrar ljós og verndar teið. Hringlaga gluggi á öskjunni sýnir kanínutáknið.

- Unique Properties
- Tamausagi is a bottled Japanese tea brewed with "Uji Gyokuro," a tea produced using Kyoto's traditional Uji tea manufacturing technique. Japanese tea is often served for free in many restaurants in Kyoto and all over Japan. We developed Tamausagi to provide delicious tea to increase the value of Uji tea and to promote its production.

- Production Technology
- To evoke the prestige and exclusive luxury of Kyoto, we applied special gold designs to the bottle. With a rough texture and subdued gleam, the gold exudes a strong presence. A black bottle, which blocks light, was used to protect the tea's quality. We added a circular window to the packaging to allow the rabbit symbol on the bottle to be seen. Inspired by the Gyokuro cultivation method of shading tea leaves from sunlight, we depict a moonlit night with thin clouds.
- Design Challenge
- Due to the risk of the bottle falling over during filling at the factory, it was necessary to adjust the shape of the bottle finely. The most challenging task was to balance functionality with art: to have a design that evokes the simplicity of Japan's beauty without impeding the filling process. Additionally, we spent significant time meticulously designing the bottle's visual appeal to ensure that it is beautiful from every angle.
- Research
- We were conscious of the design to enhance and capitalize on the value of Japanese tea itself, which until now has been offered free of charge. Also, the design aims to create a brand of tea that can be served on special occasions, such as a welcome drink or as a non-alcoholic beverage for those who cannot drink alcohol at an event.
- Inspiration
- The bottle has a simple form inspired by Japan's aesthetic of simplicity, known as wabi-sabi. The symbol comes from a rabbit, which guided the guardian god of Uji and looked back to ensure the god was following. The bottle's design, which evokes the image of a moonlit night with thin clouds, represents the Gyokuro tea's cultivation method of shading the leaves from the sun. Traditional Japanese patterns, reminiscent of Uji tea's long history, are incorporated into the clouds' design.
- Project Duration
- This brand was launched in Kyoto, Japan in September 2020.
- Operation Flow
- Simply open the bottle and pour a glass to enjoy Japanese tea of the highest quality. The bottle design, with its rabbit motif, adds an elegant flair to the table, and when poured into a glass, the tea's beautiful, vibrant golden color catches your eye. The design is perfect for a special time with a loved one or as a gift.
