What this is

Warm dark, mustard, a serif that behaves strangely. We took a real catalogue of thirty-four single-origin Chinese teas and asked what happens to a quiet product in a loud visual language. Every design shows real tea — only the environment is borrowed. This is research about packaging and perception, not a store.
