One unbroken line, and the leaf left alone
Thirty-four Chinese teas on cream paper. Each gets a single hairline drawing, a wide-tracked lowercase name and a lot of empty paper around it.

The whole shop is built from three elements: a hairline, a dot, and empty paper. Every drawing is made of one continuous stroke that does not lift, so an icon can sit next to a photograph without competing with it. Dry leaf is difficult to photograph honestly, because the moment you light it dramatically you are selling an atmosphere instead of a grade. Shot flat from above on cream, a pile of Longjing shows its own colour range and its own cut, and there is nothing else in the frame to blame. The lowercase name is tracked wide so it reads as a label rather than a logo. One green dot marks the end of a rule and that is the only colour the page is allowed. Chinese tea already carries its own ornament in the leaf, so the layout does not add any.
