About Menhao Tea Kupakidwa kwa Tiyi

Menhao Tea ndi njira yopakira tiyi, yopangidwa ngati bokosi losungiramo zinthu zakale. Kapangidwe kake kakuwonetsa mitundu isanu ndi umodzi ya tiyi pa mtengo wa chibadwidwe, wokhala ndi malo enieni komwe tiyi imachokera, ndondomeko ya nthawi ya luso lopanga komanso miyeso ya kukoma. Kachikwama kalikonse kamkati kamalemba malo enieni a dziko, zaka za mtengo ndi tsatanetsatane wa kakonzedwe, m'malo mwa mawu osamveka bwino a kulawa ndi miyeso yotheka kuyezedwa. Bokosilo lapangidwa ndi pepala la kraft lotha kutsukidwa ndipo limatsekedwa ndi chingwe cha thonje, kotero bokosilo likhoza kugwiritsidwanso ntchito. Kudindidwa kwa zojambula za bronze ndi siliva kumawonetsa zithunzi za nthambi za tiyi ndi miyeso yake. Bokosi lililonse limakhala ndi timatumba 66 ta magalamu 3.6.

The Recognition

About the Mphoto ya Golide ya A' Design Award

Menhao Tea Kupakidwa kwa Tiyi ndi mmodzi mwa opambana a Mphoto ya Golide ya A' Design Award, kuzindikirika kolemekezeka kwambiri komwe kumaperekedwa kwa mapangidwe a pamwamba, odabwitsa ndi odziwika. Opambana a Golide ndi zolengedwa zatsopano kwambiri, zoona patali ndi zonyezimira zomwe zimaonetsa luntha, nzeru ndi luso la opanga awo. Menhao Tea Kupakidwa kwa Tiyi akuyembekezeka kukhala chopangidwa chotamandidwa kwambiri, chokhazikitsa zochitika ndi chachikulu chomwe chimabweretsa phindu losawonekapo kale. Mapangidwe opambana Mphoto ya Golide ya A' Design Award awa ndi ntchito yodabwitsa, yolemekezeka yomwe imapindulitsa kwambiri ndi kukulitsa malire a luso, sayansi, kapangidwe ndi ukadaulo. Menhao Tea Kupakidwa kwa Tiyi amabweretsa zilakolako zamphamvu, kudzutsa chidwi, kulimbikitsa luso lolenga ndi kutikopa.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

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

Unique Properties: This innovative system visualizes tea cultivation through biological phylogenetic trees, mapping six major tea categories with terroir coordinates, craft evolution timelines, and flavor matrices. The archival case uses washable kraft paper for extended utility, resonating with academic aesthetics in study environments. Each inner capsule details geo-coordinates, tree age, and processing parameters, synchronized with a traceable quality DB to empower scientific tea selection for Menhao Tea.
Dimensions & Packaging: Each box contains 66 pre-measured sachets (3.6g/sachet) scientifically calibrated for dedicated teapots, achieving ideal infusion strength through single brew optimization for Menhao Tea.
Tags: Archive, Tea, Pu'er, Philosophy, Theory
Production Technology: The closure system with cotton cord reinforcement and washable kraft paper enables sustainable reuse cycles. Bronze gold hot foil stamping creates tea-branch motifs as visual anchors, complemented by silver foil parameter indicators and tactile sticker overlays that enhance visual hierarchy - establishing an archival-grade gift system balancing academic rigor and modern aesthetics for Menhao Tea.
Design Challenge: By integrating archival design elements and heritage materials, this system transforms tea selection from sensory intuition to data-driven decisions, shifting Menghao Tea culture from ambiguous traditions to measurable quality benchmarks.
Research: The research aims to establish a scientific decision-making model for tea consumption through dual approaches: visual semiotic translation and material lifecycle testing . By quantifying intangible heritage techniques into measurable craft parameters, this initiative demystifies tea culture while innovating an archival paradigm for consumer goods.
Inspiration: Inspired by 19th-century botanical archives, this system decodes tea evaluation through scientific visual metrics. Chromatic scales, quantified flavor indicators , and origin traceability codes replace ambiguous descriptors like "mellow sweetness", constructing a verifiable decision-making framework for Menhao Tea selection.
Project Duration: The project was launched in Shenzhen, China in November 2024 and fully implemented by January 2025.
Operation Flow: The archival cord-sealed closure system transforms each unboxing into tactile document retrieval ritual. This material narrative bridges historical tea research with contemporary consumption scenarios, creating sensorial archive access points for Menhao Tea.
