The whole format comes from screenprinting on coloured stock: two or three inks, no gradients, and edges left to break up where the mesh gives out. Brush script does the naming because a hand mark scales badly on purpose — it looks drawn rather than set, and it dates the sheet to a print run. City lists are the oldest device in the format and they earn their place here, since the teas genuinely travel: Wuyi, Yunnan, Fujian, then wherever the shirt ends up. Sandy stock is chosen over white so black ink sits warm and rust reads as a second colour instead of an accent. Chinese tea takes this without ceremony because a pressed block or a dense disc of leaf is graphic enough to survive halftone treatment. The grain stays visible, and nothing is cleaned up to look digital.
