About Tamausagi په بوتل کې چای

تاماوساګي یو بوتل شوی جاپاني چای دی چې د اوجي ګیوکورو څخه جوړ شوی، دا هغه چای دی چې د کیوتو د اوجي دودیزې طریقې سره تیارېږي. بوتل ساده بڼه لري چې د وابي-سابي، یعنې د سادګۍ د جاپاني ښکلاییز مفهوم څخه الهام اخیستل شوې ده. سمبول یې یو سوی دی چې د اوجي ساتونکي خدای لارښوونه یې کوله. بوتل د سپوږمۍ یوه شپه ښیي چې نریې ورېځې پکې دي، دا د ګیوکورو هغې طریقې ته اشاره ده چې د چای پاڼې د لمر له وړانګو ساتل کېږي. پر بوتل د زرینو ګاڼو کار شوی چې زیږ جوړښت او ورو ځلا لري. تور بوتل رڼا مخنیوی کوي او چای ساتي. په بکس کې یوه ګردۍ کړکۍ د سوي سمبول ښکاره کوي.

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.
