FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
SL: This product is positioned as collective and commemorative products by Runyuanchang tea. We hope that the packaging design should have distinctive visual effect and traditional Chinese features to realize a sense of ritual when it is opened. Therefore, we think about that whether there is a similar reflective way in the traditional Chinese etiquette, which has different packaging from other teas. Finally we found inspiration in the ancient calligraphy and painting scroll.
