The story / Cameli

The character’s story

In our story, Cameli appeared as a tea-plant flower curious about why the neighboring jasmine smelled so different. That curiosity led him to Fuzhou jasmine tea and a friendship between two different plants. Cameli remains a tea blossom: he never calls himself jasmine or suggests brewing his own petals. His sunny character arrives before any explanation, while his thoughtful side appears in the attention he gives to fragrance. He loves helping a guest find their own words for a first cup.

A coral visor leaves Cameli’s petals open above a sage tunic and dark blue trousers. Holding an open tea jar with its attached lid, he invites a guest to describe Fuzhou jasmine tea with one familiar word.

Cameli looks for a colour that evokes the aroma of Fuzhou jasmine tea. He holds a board with a tea sample and opens three attached colour cards. They express his personal impression, rather than judging the tea’s quality by colour.

Fuzhou jasmine tea inspires a personal colour association.
