About Jingyang Brick Tea चायपेटिका

जिङ्ग्याङ्ग-इष्टकाचायः पीडितचायेष्टकानां कृते एका पेटिकानिर्माणकल्पना अस्ति। एषा पेटिका शतमिलिमीटर-गुणितं शतमिलिमीटर-गुणितं चत्वारिंशत्-मिलिमीटर-परिमाणा अस्ति, हस्तनिर्मितेन तण्डुलपत्रेण च निर्मिता, यत् आर्द्रतारोधकम् अस्ति। अलङ्करणं हस्तेन काष्ठखण्डमुद्रणेन आरोप्यते, यत् एकं पारम्परिकं चीनीयशिल्पम् अस्ति। चित्राणि उत्तरकालीनक्विङ्ग-राजवंशस्य वणिग्जीवनं स्थानीयाचारांश्च दर्शयन्ति, त्रयः पारम्परिकाः चीनीयवर्णाश्च समग्रश्रेण्यां प्रयुज्यन्ते। अधोभागः पत्रचिह्नेन पिधीयते। तृणरज्जुग्रन्थिः पेटिकां मुद्रयति वहनार्थं हस्तकरूपेण च कार्यं करोति।

Production Technology
The final implementation of the packaging will use handmade rice paper and wood-block prints for inscription rubbing, which can promote the inheritance of China’s intangible cultural heritage. In addition, in order to reflect the packaging's original appearance and environment-friendly, its rubbing pigment, bonding glue and bundled straw ropes will all be made with natural materials. This design will also use portable straw rope to replace the original handles in order to save resources. Finally, local women will hand-package and decorate the tea bricks, which can solve their problem of a need for employment and will also stimulate economic growth.
Design Challenge
In the process of packaging design, in order to conform to the traditional Chinese design style, the packaging materials should be selected to consider the moisture-proof and insect-proof properties of the packaging, and finally the rice paper was selected. Decoration did not choose digital printing, but the choice of China's intangible cultural heritage block printing. Although this craft has been protected by the state, it has not been widely spread, and it has experienced many difficulties in the process of searching for intangible cultural heritage inheritors. The entire packaging process is hand-made and the size difference is created by hand, which is one of the difficulties in the packaging process. Not only that, the adhesives made from the leaves are environmentally friendly and harmless.
Research
Jingyang Brick Tea has a history of more than 600 years. It was also known as ‘Black Gold' on the ancient Silk Road. Due to regional economic underdevelopment and a lack of brand awareness, it faces difficulties with sales and communication. This time, the local tea merchants are jointly engaged in brand packaging of Jingyang Brick Tea to solve the above problems of local tea merchants and tea farmers.
Inspiration
The design concept reflects the late Qing Dynasty merchant culture and local customs. The various of life such as merchants riding horses around downtown and countryside, vendors selling the local snacks, folk artists performing Chinese operas, students preparing for exam, mother and kids.Line drawing techniques and tea receipts that circulated during the late Qing Dynasty will be used to seal the bottom of the brick tea. The design uses three Chinese traditional colors on different packaging.
Project Duration
The project started in May 2018 in TianJin and finished in February 2019 in TianJin, and was officially launched for sale in March 2019.
Operation Flow
In this product, the sealing method adopts the traditional Chinese ancient rope knot to prevent the goods from being scattered during transportation, and is also convenient for consumers to open and carry.The bottom is sealed by sticking labels, which is more traditional in Chinese style.The materials used are naturally environmentally friendly.
