Hand-picked tea gift box is the beginning of a healing energy for everyone who receives it.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: With tea energy as the theme, the abstract brushstrokes and colors are integrated into the pattern to reflect the nourishment of the mountains and forests in each tea product. From a leaf to a cup of tea, the essence of tea and the earth is maintained in both the logo design and the packaging design. The design of the box is based on a light and elegant vision, representing the anticipation and healing feeling before receiving the gift box and enjoying the tea.
