Jingyang Brick Tea
Packaging for Litete Brand Design
Jingyang Brick Tea has a history of more than 600 years. Inspired by the Shaanxi merchants of the Qing dynasty and the folk custom, the design promotes the inheritance of China’s intangible cultural heritage. Line drawing techniques and tea receipts that circulated during the late Qing Dynasty will be used to seal the bottom of the brick tea. Three traditional Chinese colors will be used on different packages. The final implementation of the packaging will use handmade rice paper as packaging materials and wood-block prints for inscription rubbing, which are all done by hand.

Production Technology
The final implementation of the packaging will use handmade rice paper and wood-block prints for inscription rubbing, which can promote the inheritance of China’s intangible cultural heritage. In addition, in order to reflect the packaging's original appearance and environment-friendly, its rubbing pigment, bonding glue and bundled straw ropes will all be made with natural materials. This design will also use portable straw rope to replace the original handles in order to save resources. Finally, local women will hand-package and decorate the tea bricks, which can solve their problem of a need for employment and will also stimulate economic growth.
Design Challenge
In the process of packaging design, in order to conform to the traditional Chinese design style, the packaging materials should be selected to consider the moisture-proof and insect-proof properties of the packaging, and finally the rice paper was selected. Decoration did not choose digital printing, but the choice of China's intangible cultural heritage block printing. Although this craft has been protected by the state, it has not been widely spread, and it has experienced many difficulties in the process of searching for intangible cultural heritage inheritors. The entire packaging process is hand-made and the size difference is created by hand, which is one of the difficulties in the packaging process. Not only that, the adhesives made from the leaves are environmentally friendly and harmless.
Project Duration
The project started in May 2018 in TianJin and finished in February 2019 in TianJin, and was officially launched for sale in March 2019.
Operation Flow
In this product, the sealing method adopts the traditional Chinese ancient rope knot to prevent the goods from being scattered during transportation, and is also convenient for consumers to open and carry.The bottom is sealed by sticking labels, which is more traditional in Chinese style.The materials used are naturally environmentally friendly.

The design uses three Chinese traditional colors on different packaging.
