A manual page exists so that a hundred different subjects can be described in the same shape and then compared. Everything is a cell: the photograph, the pictogram, the temperature, the swatch, the colour chip — nothing floats and nothing is sized for emphasis. Chinese tea benefits from that more than most goods, because the only useful comparison between a white tea and a ripe pu-erh is a set of shared fields — leaf, water temperature, steep time, liquor colour, aroma. Pictograms carry those fields so the page works without translation, and the words beside them stay short enough to be checked at a glance. Cobalt and red appear only as system parts, marking the margin and the spine, never as mood. The result is a shop that will not tell you which tea is best, only what each one is.
