Gushu Jinzhu

Gushu Jinzhu is a gift box designed for dried longan fruit. The box uses a lid and base structure and measures 360 by 240 by 90 millimetres.

An inner poster describes the traditional drying craft and the moisture-proof function. The box holds four acrylic jars with botanical labels and a celadon glazed tea bowl of 130 millimetres that serves as a fruit tray. The orange red colour marks a festive occasion.

Menhao Tea

Menhao Tea is a packaging system for tea, shaped as an archival collection case. The design maps six tea categories on a phylogenetic tree, with origin coordinates, craft timelines and flavor scales. Each inner capsule states geographic coordinates, tree age and processing details, replacing vague tasting terms with measurable values. The case is made of washable kraft paper and closes with a cotton cord, so the box can be reused. Bronze and silver foil stamping marks tea branch motifs and parameters. Each box holds 66 sachets of 3.6 grams.
