The layout is a document first: a serif headline, a rule under it, and content divided into small panels that can be read in any order. Thin teal lines do the dividing because a rule costs nothing and never competes with a photograph, unlike a filled box. Labels are set in small caps above the value so a person scanning for origin or process finds it without reading a sentence. Making the leaf itself into a cog states the position quietly — this is tea treated as something built and specified, not as atmosphere. Chinese tea rewards that treatment, since its differences really are procedural: pan-fired, withered, fermented, aged. One red accent is allowed on the page, and it is reserved for the only thing you can act on.
