Original Tea Capsule: Innovative Packaging Design

Revolutionizing Tea Brewing with Beijing Xiaoguan Cha Company Limited

The Original Tea Capsule, designed by Beijing Xiaoguan Cha Company Limited, is a groundbreaking packaging solution that enhances the tea brewing experience. With its unique design and advanced technology, this packaging is set to revolutionize the way we enjoy our favorite teas.

The inspiration behind the Original Tea Capsule comes from the intricate beauty of leaves and their veins. Each package is color-coded to represent different types of tea leaves, providing a visually appealing and intuitive experience for tea enthusiasts. The invisible dot matrix on the package seal allows the CTEAO Tea Machine to quickly recognize and select the appropriate tea package.

What sets the Original Tea Capsule apart is its interior patented structure, which enables multiple extractions and ensures a smooth and flavorful tea experience. The capsule is specially designed for the CTEAO Tea Machine, allowing users to enjoy a wide variety of teas with ease. Say goodbye to traditional tea packaging and hello to a more convenient and enjoyable tea brewing process.

The technology behind the Original Tea Capsule is truly remarkable. The invisible dot matrix recognition technology enables the CTEAO Tea Machine to identify different tea packages and select the most suitable tea-making plan. The package itself is nitrogen-filled, providing optimal protection and preservation for the tea leaves. The aluminum sealing film at the top and bottom of the package ensures freshness and quality. The self-developed multi-head weighers precisely measure and place the tea leaves into the package without causing any damage.

Measuring at 82 mm x 54 mm x 28 mm, the Original Tea Capsule is compact and easy to handle. Its sleek design and attention to detail make it a perfect addition to any tea lover's collection.

The Original Tea Capsule project was a collaborative effort by a team of talented individuals. Led by Bing Han, the team included Xing Zhang, Na Chen, Zhou Yongzhuo, Chen Xiujuan, Zheng Huicong, and Peng Mao. Their combined expertise in industrial design, packaging design, development, and tea research and development ensured the success of this innovative project.

Using the Original Tea Capsule is a breeze. Simply open the CTEAO Tea Machine cover, insert the tea capsule, and let the magic happen. The dot matrix design on the packaging allows the machine to recognize the tea leaves, while the spraying head cover ensures thorough and even infusion.

The Original Tea Capsule project took place in Beijing from 2018 to February 2022. Extensive research was conducted to curate a selection of 12 world-renowned Chinese teas, including Jin Jun Mei tea, Kung Fu black tea, Long Jing tea, Bi Luo Chun tea, Huangshan Mao Feng tea, Da Hong Pao tea, Iron Guanyin tea, White Peony tea, Pu Er tea, Jasmine tea, and Lao Shou Mei tea. The goal was to provide a high-quality lifestyle and make Chinese tea accessible to a wider audience.

The design team faced several challenges during the development of the Original Tea Capsule. The key obstacle was ensuring that the tea leaves were fully soaked for a rich and flavorful brew. The innovative head cover design allows water to reach the interior packaging, ensuring a thorough infusion. Additionally, the pressurized extraction structure enables multiple extractions, allowing users to enjoy the full potential of their tea.

The Original Tea Capsule has garnered recognition in the design industry and was awarded the prestigious Iron A' Design Award in the Packaging Design category in 2022. This award recognizes the Original Tea Capsule for its practicality, innovation, and adherence to professional and industrial standards. It is a testament to the dedication and creativity of the Beijing Xiaoguan Cha Company Limited team.

The Original Tea Capsule is a game-changer in the world of tea brewing. With its unique design, advanced technology, and commitment to quality, it elevates the tea drinking experience to new heights. Say goodbye to traditional tea packaging and embrace the future of tea brewing with the Original Tea Capsule.
