Design Challenge

Because the agricultural workers are aging and the process of cultivating pesticide-free jasmine in Huatan Township is complicated, the youth's intention of returning to their hometown and supporting local agriculture has greatly decreased; as a result, local pesticide-free jasmine production is little. Therefore, in order to enhance the economic benefit then drive local agricultural transition, Huatan Farmers' Association broke conventional business models by introducing innovations like "brand" and "design" to enhance local industry. Moreover, they had launched a sequence of jasmine products and built a jasmine themed recreation area, having driven regional revitalization. Regarding the execution of this project: we had conducted in-depth research into the target market, and expressed jasmine's timeless value and status in Eastern culture through innovative and representative visual design of the package; not only has reversed the public's conventional image of agricultural products, but also promoted jasmine teas to enter high-end market successfully!

Project Duration

The project started in May 2019 in Huatan Township, Changhua County, Taiwan and finished in January 2020 in Huatan Township, Changhua County, Taiwan

Inspiration

Why black was chosen to express pure white jasmine? Since jasmines bloom at night only, therefore the making of jasmine tea was also conducted at night, typical "working at night". The color of dark night was chosen as the dominant color of the package, with the tone of Eastern palace to express the noble demeanor of this queen of night. Jasmine flowers were depicted as mesmerizing as glittering stars in the night sky through thorough hot foil stamping.
