Zhishan 1299
Zhishan 1299 is a gift box designed for organic green tea grown in high altitude tea gardens. The shape of a single bud leaf is cut as a hollow form on the box surface, turning the product form into a memory symbol. When the box is opened, the structure unfolds and stretches upward into a mountain shape, recalling the Chinese character for mountain and the tea garden at an altitude of 1299 meters. Gold stamping and UV coating are applied to the surface. Thirty small nitrogen filled packages inside keep the tea fresh and visible.
