"Using tea as a medium, the exhibition connects the lands and cultures of Taiwan, Mongolia, and Tibet—weaving together a journey through diverse tea cultures."
Tea Origins & Tea Fragrance: From Taiwan to Mongolia and Tibet showcases approximately 221 sets of various tea utensils and tea settings, bringing together the tea cultures of Taiwan, Mongolia, and Tibet. Using tea as a medium, the exhibition connects their lands and cultures—weaving a journey through diverse tea traditions that spans time and space, crossing regions and eras. It highlights their cultural developments whilst bridging past and present.
This space recreates the living environments of Mongolia and Tibet, displaying items such as yurts, yak tents, and everyday objects.
With the exhibition objective to create a ‘real-life scene’ of the golden age of tea through multi-sensory approach. Our team in Taiwan deployed multi-media projections on the windows in order to create a heightened sense of realism visually, accompanied with the use of ‘oolong tea’ fragrance in the venue for olfactory senses, and use of brick-textured wallpaper for enhanced tactile experience.
Despite the site’s space constraint, our team utilised a single transparent cloth to create a curved partition space, softening the visitors' vision and smoothening their flow.
