About Xiyes Te Pūhera Tī

He huinga pūhera a Xiyes mō tētahi koha tī, i whakaawetia e te manaakitanga tuku iho o Haina. E whā ngā tauira e kitea ana i runga i ngā pūhera iti o roto, e tohu ana i te whakaiti, te mahana, te whakaute me te ngākau hihiko. Ka hangaia ia tauira mai i ngā rakuraku tuhi ā-ringa o te moko, kua whakaraupapatia anō hei whakaahua e whakaatu ana i ngā āhua ahurea tuku iho o Haina. Kua hangaia te pūhera mai i ngā rawa pūtau-hou e taea ana te whakahou, i kōwhiritia mō te pakari, te ātete i te pēhanga me te pupuri i te haukū. He katinga autō tō te pouaka o waho, ā, ka noho ngā pūkoro tī kua hiritia takitahi ki runga i tētahi paepae pūtau kei roto.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

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.
