The Design

About Xiyes Involucrum Theae

Xiyes est involucrorum copia pro dono theae, hospitalitate Sinensi traditionali inspirata. Quattuor formae in parvis involucris interioribus apparent, humilitatem, calorem, reverentiam atque studium significantes. Quaeque forma ex ductibus calligraphicis insignis efficitur, in imagines redispositis quae figuras culturales Sinenses traditionales suggerunt. Involucrum ex materiis renovabilibus e cellulosa confectis fabricatum est, propter durabilitatem, resistentiam pressioni et retentionem umoris selectis. Capsa exterior clausuram magneticam habet, et sacculi theae singillatim obsignati in ferculo celluloso intus positi sunt.

Behind the Design

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Four delicate patterns on small packages each reflect the hospitality of Chinese traditional culture: humility, warmth, respect, and enthusiasm, which are derived from the calligraphic strokes in the logo, cleverly restructured to form characteristic images and postures representing traditional Chinese cultural figures, resembling vivid characters.
Dimensions & Packaging: 452 mm x 120 mm x 35 mm
Production Technology: The Xiyes Tea Gift packaging is crafted from renewable cellulose-based materials, chosen for their superior durability, pressure resistance, and excellent moisture-retention properties - ensuring optimal freshness and protection for the tea leaves throughout storage and transit.
Design Challenge: The primary challenge in designing XIYES Tea Gift lay in authentically conveying the depth of Chinese cultural ethos, particularly Confucian values of reciprocity and respect, within a contemporary minimalist aesthetic.
Inspiration: In a world that moves ever faster, we return to the quiet wisdom of tradition, where every cup of tea is an invitation to connect, to honor, and to give with intention. The Xiyes Tea Gift draws from the timeless spirit of Chinese hospitality: "Is it not a joy to welcome friends from afar?" Through minimalist elegance, symbolic calligraphic forms, and sustainable craftsmanship, this design reimagines the ancient ritual of tea gifting as a modern expression of respect, warmth, and reciprocity.
Operation Flow: The outer box features a magnetic closure, gentle to open, yet rich in ritualistic elegance. Inside, tea sachets are neatly arranged on a sustainable cellulose tray, each individually sealed for freshness.
