Chinese tea · listed like resale
Thirty-four Chinese teas set as resale listings: hairline frame, green condition chip, mono spec column, and the leaf shot flat the way a seller shoots it.

A resale listing is an honest form: it states origin, condition, weight and lot, and everything else is the seller's problem. That structure fits Chinese tea almost exactly, because a real batch is described by garden, variety, grade, harvest year and how it was stored, not by adjectives. So the layout keeps the seller's furniture — the hairline frame, the mono field labels, the condition chip, the barcode strip — and puts the leaf where the garment photograph would go, lit flat with nothing arranged around it. The single green is the only colour allowed, which makes the status markers readable and leaves the tea's own colour uncontested. The price block is part of the form and part of the study; nothing on this site is priced or sold, and the field is there to show how a listing is built. Old-tree oolong and stored pu-erh belong in this frame more than most clothes do, since with tea age genuinely is condition. The tone stays flat on purpose: stated, dated, filed.
