DESIGN NAME: Burning Tea
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Beverages
INSPIRATION: Influenced by the concept of balance between yin and yang in "I Ching", a classic masterpiece of dialectical philosophy in ancient China, the overall design style of burning tea boldly breaks through the previous beverage packaging design in the market. The label of tea burning bottles is mainly composed of self-designed characters such as "burning" and taste patterns. As a visual symbol, the golden "flame" of the bottle is clear at a glance, which is highlighted in numerous product containers, leaving a deep impression on consumers.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The golden "flame" of the bottle is clear at a glance, which is highlighted in numerous product containers, leaving a deep impression on consumers. The word "burning" is structured in a solid and straight way. By referencing the charm of ancient Chinese official script, the unique tip of the pen is added in the stroke processing. On the one hand, "burning" means burning and igniting, which can be associated with burning fat. On the other hand, borrowing the metaphysical Japanese culture that young people are familiar with implies the spirit of being positive and striving hard.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The burning tea bottle is slender, the design that "make the waistline inside" makes the bottle more convenient to hold. The pinstripe design of the bottle shoulder increases the traditional tea feeling, and the annular base at the bottom of the bottle makes the whole bottle more stable. The burning tea series not only prompts the taste through delicate pictures but also allows consumers to distinguish quickly through the change of bottle body background color. For example, the color of strawberry is selected for the burning tea with strawberry jasmine flavor.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in June 2017.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Packaging Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The products are packaged in PET, which means that the bottle contains a plastic material called polyethylene terephthalate, or PET for short. PET is a polymer produced by the combination of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. PET plastic has the characteristics of light weight, high transparency and impact resistance.PET bottles has low environmental pollution and energy consumption, so it gradually replaces traditional packaging materials with the rising awareness of environmental protection.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We conducted surveys both online and offline for the importance of sugar free and the consumers' preference of aesthetics in designs after the preliminary stage. Each question were designed to test out our design or unique product features against real competitors in the market side by side, thus be more grounded in our analysis and results. We have more confidence to have science back up our product and packaging design.
CHALLENGE: In the actual operation is happening. We have noticed that it is important to make products be clear at a glance when placing them on the miscellaneous shelves. To solve that we have adopted stimulating colors to draw intentions of consumers. We have also acknowledged the guiding functions of the general consumers colour recognition. We picked the quietly elegant colours such as large areas of black and white, given consumers a simple but fashion impression.
