Moderate packaging of tea is conducive to brand building and product sales, but excessive packaging will bring multiple negative effects. The packaging of buying boxes and returning pearls runs counter to the connotation of frugality in tea culture, and is incompatible with the new development concept of green and low carbon. Many tea gift boxes are difficult to reuse, and all kinds of fillers are useless. In the end, they can only become domestic garbage, causing waste of resources and environmental pollution. In addition, the marketing concept of focusing on "appearance" and ignoring "quality" is not conducive to the healthy development of the tea market.
