Custom Luxury Tea Tin for Zheng Shan Tang Black Tea

Project Overview

High-quality black tea is sensitive to oxygen, moisture, and light, which can quickly degrade its complex aroma and flavor profile. The client needed a packaging format that not only stands out as a luxury gift but also serves as a high-performance storage vessel. We created a double-lid cylindrical tin that emphasizes the “Ocean & Galaxy” (海晏河清) theme, reflecting the brand’s deep cultural roots.

Packaging Solution

• Material: 0.25mm premium grade tinplate for a solid, substantial feel and maximum durability.
• Structure: A classic cylindrical “Airtight” construction featuring an internal plug lid and an external slip lid for secondary protection and a seamless appearance.
• Printing: High-gloss “Piano Black” finish paired with metallic gold lithography. The intricate cloud patterns and swallow icons are rendered with high-precision micro-printing.
• Key Feature: Multi-level 3D embossing on the central gold emblem, providing a striking tactile experience that highlights the “Zheng Shan Tang” calligraphy.
• Lining: Food-grade gold lacquer lining ensures an inert interior environment, preventing any metallic interaction with the delicate tea leaves.

Results & Feedback

The “Black & Gold” edition tin has become a hallmark of Zheng Shan Tang’s high-end product line, significantly increasing its gift-market share. Customers appreciated the “thunk” of the high-quality lid fit, which communicates immediate luxury. The brand reported that the tin’s superior sealing properties successfully maintained the tea’s unique “longan” aroma for over 24 months, exceeding standard industry benchmarks.
