About Zhanlu Tea د بوټیزو چای بستهبندۍ ډیزاین
ژانلو د بوټیزو چای لپاره یو برانډ او بستهبندۍ ډیزاین دی چې د ژیړ امپراتور د مقبرې لپاره جوړ شوی دی. دا مفهوم په کلاسیک چینایي شاعرۍ کې د سهار د پرخې له انځور څخه الهام اخلي، چې پاکوالی او سپکه تغذیه څرګندوي. دا ترکیب د راهب میوه (مونک فروټ)، شیرین بویه، اوفیوپوګون، رسبري او سلیمان مهر سره یوځای کوي، او د هغه دودیز اصل پیروي کوي چې تروش او خواږه خوندونه یوځای د لندبل په تولید کې مرسته کوي. د چای هره ۵ ګرامه کڅوړه د لندبل ضد پاکټ کې بندې شوې ده. پوښل شوي کاغذي کارتنونه د آفسیټ چاپ او ګرم مهرولو (هاټ سټمپینګ) کاروي چې د هان له دورې څخه الهام اخیستي ګرافیکونه لري.

- Production Technology
- Zhanlu is made with selected herbs that are cleaned, low temperature dried, and finely cut to preserve aroma and quality. The blend is packed into 5 g food grade tea bags and sealed in moisture proof sachets. Cartons and rigid gift boxes use coated paperboard with offset printing and hot stamping to present refined Han inspired graphics.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge was translating traditional wellness philosophy into a contemporary product without losing cultural depth. Rooted in classical theory, the concept had to remain clear and appealing to modern users. The key was balancing herbal efficacy, taste, symbolism, and packaging in one refined and coherent design.
- Research
- This project explores how traditional Chinese wellness philosophy can be translated into contemporary cultural product design. Based on the principle that sour and sweet flavors generate moisture, the formula blends monk fruit, licorice, polygonatum, ophiopogon, and raspberry to support gentle hydration. Inspired by classical poetry and Han aesthetics, the packaging reinterprets traditional symbolism in a modern tea product, linking heritage, health, and mindful self care.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration for Zhanlu comes from the image of morning dew in ancient Chinese poetry, pure, quiet, and life giving. It draws from the sacred atmosphere of the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, especially the ancient cypress trees that have endured for millennia. The concept of light nourishment and the traditional principle that sour and sweet create moisture shaped the formula, expressing harmony between nature, heritage, and gentle self care.
- Project Duration
- The project was completed on February 18, 2026. The client is based in the Yangtze River Delta region of China. Concept development, herbal formulation research, and packaging design were carried out in Xian, Shaanxi Province, China. The project integrates regional cultural resources with contemporary design practice, bridging eastern market demand and northwestern cultural heritage context.
- Operation Flow
- Open the outer carton or gift box and remove one individually sealed sachet. Tear open the moisture proof wrapper and place one 5 g tea bag into a cup. Add approximately 250 to 300 ml of hot water and steep for 3 to 5 minutes. The tea gradually releases a gentle sweetness and light herbal aroma.
After touring the mausoleum, visitors hold the warm cup, pause, and sip slowly. The interaction is simple and intuitive, open, brew, inhale, taste, creating a quiet ritual that connects body, breath, and cultural memory in a brief moment of nourishment. - Patents
