About Original Tea Capsule Packaging
Original Tea Capsule is a tea packaging designed for the Cteao tea machine. The outer form follows the shape of a leaf and its veins, and each package color refers to one kind of tea. An invisible dot matrix on the sealing film allows the machine to recognize the tea inside and select a suitable brewing plan. The interior structure divides the water into four channels, so the leaves are fully soaked and extracted several times. Nitrogen filling and aluminum films at the top and bottom protect the leaves. The capsule measures 82 by 54 by 28 millimeters.

- Production Technology
- The capsule uses invisible dot matrix recognition technology, which can identify varied tea packages and select the most suitable tea-making plan. The package can well protect and preserve inner tea leaves via nitrogen-filled packaging The package applies the aluminum sealing film at the bottom and top. By adapting its material-pressing force and times according to various types of tea leaves, the self-developed multi-head weighers can precisely put tea leaves into package without damaging.
- Design Challenge
- The key challenge is to make the tea leaves fully soaked. Hence, the internal design applies the head cover so that water spouts can reach to the interior packaging and fully soak tea leaves. Also, the pressurized extraction structure can press and extract internal tea leaves for many times, which can allow users to enjoy high-class tea.
