Design Details

Unique Properties
With tea culture as the brand core, PAH JI HUE' augments cultural and creative tea products. The combination of Taiwan fruit tea and classic dried fruit creates the mellow and smooth taste, echoing with image of rounded can. Meanwhile, the simple and elegant illustration outlines the urban design style. The wooden box is adopted to share products of the two, realizing the effective integrated design and expansion of gift.
Inspiration
Different from the images of youth in the past, this series return to the essence of PAH JI HUE' in tea making. The professional and steady-going brand image is strengthened via brands of Taiwan classic tea and Taiwan fruit tea products.
Research
We went to tea plantation that PAH JI HUE' owned in the middle of Taiwan. In Nantou, we observed the process of tea making and tried to link with the visual package. We use the concept about drip coffee and original fruit flavor to transfer the form of package. From inside to outside, we would like to let buyer taste Taiwan tea in different way.
Challenge
1. Broken the original concept of tasting tea. 2. The wooden box could fix two different types of the tea products. And it also could be regarded as storage box.
Realization and Technology
Offset print for packages, both iron and paper box. The top of iron box is convex via modeling. Different printing layers on the surfaces of the packages.
Operation and Interaction
Classic Taiwan Tea takes hand-brewed tea as the overall planning concept, and uses contracted design to convey the simple atmosphere of leisurely tasting tea.
Project Duration and Location
The package project started in March 2018 in Taiwan and finished in September 2019 in Taiwan.
Specifications
Wooden Box. 144mm x 280mm x 80mm Paper Box. 104mm x 63mm x 130mm Iron Box. diameter 125mm x height 60mm
