Script says the name is spoken, not filed. Every tea here already carries a spoken name in two languages, and drawing the pinyin as one continuous stroke keeps the sound in front of the spelling. The red is laid flat with no shading so the leaf stays the only textured thing on the page. The ribbon is the oldest trick in poster design, a line that moves the eye across a square without needing a grid, and it gives thirty-four different teas the same rhythm. Condensation belongs to a cold drink, so here it reads as a borrowed gesture rather than a claim about tea. The medallion at the foot is where the Chinese name is repeated, small and stamped, the way a seal closes a page.
