Young Bird Plan 2018“有型有罐”产品设计国际竞赛发布！
“ 随着商业生态与互联网基础设施的变化，反经验成为创新之始，跳出经验、打破惯性、不符合逻辑，才能真正有机会触碰到新价值生长的破局点。新世代的用户属性发生着剧烈变化，情感需要、文化认同、个体表达、社交属性——用户已经完成精神消费的完整迭代，也必然带来产品逻辑的变化。”
——吴声《新物种爆炸》，中信出版社
With the reform of business ecology and Internet infrastructure, anti-experience becomes the beginning of innovation. Only when the person breaks away with traditional thoughts, can he or she witness the growth of new value. Nowadays, users’ attributes like affection demand, cultural identification, individual expression and social characteristics have been dramatically changed. Accordingly, their spiritual consumption has been completely upgraded, which inevitably contributes to the transformation of product logic.
——XSPECIES by Sheng Wu
近几年，无数品牌大刀阔斧地进行自我焕新及产品创新，尤其是那些位于消费金字塔顶端、“最易赚钱之时光已成往事”的奢侈品品牌，不遗余力地走上“年轻化”道路，以更年轻、更有活力的形象吸引年轻一代消费者的目光。今年8月，英国老牌奢侈品牌Burberry弃用了原有的骑士形象Logo，换用无衬线粗体的纯字体Logo，并公布了全新的辅助图形；而早在2016年底，品牌就已启用炙手可热的年轻偶像吴亦凡作为全球代言人……不无看出，在这个消费升级的时代，世界是不断重构的，所有的事情都值得重做一遍。成就你的，其实是你的价值网，是谁在依赖你。大到城市更新，小到衣食住行。
In recent years, countless brands have upgraded their products, and made products more attractive to young consumers, especially those top luxury brands. In this August, Burberry, the traditional luxury brand in UK, adopted bold letters as its logo instead of the original knight image and published its new logo graph. Besides, in late 2016, Burberry invited young idol Kris Wu as its brand endorser. Undoubtedly, the world is continuously re-constructed and everything deserves to be redone in the era of consumption update. Ranging from urban renovation to living necessities, it is your value that makes you successful, and it is the person who is dependent on you determines the trend.
Gucci、Fendi、Louis Vuitton、Chanel 也纷纷作出了一系列更立体化、更多维度的年轻化“变革”，涵盖从线上到线下、从传播方式到产品理念、从代言人到产品本身的露出。
Gucci, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Chanel promote a series of products in succession to attract young people. The reform covers online and offline promotion from mass media, products concepts to brand endorsers and products features.
当重构蔓延到日常生活中的生活细节时，往往会以一种温柔而不可抗拒的方式到来。“随风潜入夜，润物细无声。”当我们以一种新的方式去解构原有的生活常态，则会进入新的乐活状态中。茶，便是其中之一。
Just as the poet says, with wind it steals in night, mute, it wets everything. So when re-construction permeates through our daily life, it is always in a gentle way which can’t be rejected. We may come to a new stage of happy life if we change original living norms. So do tea.
茶，一片生长在山野的神奇树叶，穿越了上千年的历史长河，一直以来，都是文人雅士推崇备至的精神饮品，却和中国当下80后、90后有着一种不可名状的距离感。然而，在当代中国文化复兴和消费升级的主流趋势推动下，中国茶叶市场正从传统型区域消费模式向更为现代化、多元化和年轻化的消费模式转型。权威数据表明，近些年， 80后、90后对茶叶和茶饮生活方式的关注度已经大大提升，茶一跃成为咖啡、碳酸饮料的最佳替代品。
Tea, a leaf grown in deep forests and remote mountains is always the spiritual drink of scholars through thousands of years’ accumulation. However, it can’t be accepted by 80s and 90s young generations in China. Under the promotion of cultural rejuvenation and consumption update, tea market is changing its traditional sales mode to a more diversified, modern and younger sales mode. As a result, it is reported that young people pay more attention to tea and tea-drinking lifestyle than before and tea becomes the best substitution of coffee and soft drinks.

食品级铝罐
袋泡茶的出现，改变了西方人饮茶的方式，诞生了立顿这样的世界级茶叶品牌，小罐茶也希望通过包装方式的改变，升级中国原叶茶的消费体验。
历经三年探索，数十种材质试验，小罐茶最终选用食品级铝罐，它非常安全和环保，铝罐和铝膜都能很好地实现回收再利用；同时，铝罐“一罐一泡”，其简约的使用方式又给年轻人带来极大的便利，这在茶叶包装领域是一次巨大的创新。
Since the emergence of tea bags, the western changed their way to drink tea, which hastened the birth of Lipton, a world-level tea brand. Based on that, Xiao Guan Tea expects to change Chinese people’s experience of original leaf tea by beautifying tea package.
After three years’ exploration and over 10 package materials’ trials, food grade aluminum jar was selected as the package of Xiao Guan Tea. The aluminum jar is both safe and environmental, which can be recycled. Meanwhile, one jar for one cup of tea is really convenient for the young, and the jar becomes one of the most innovative attempts in tea package industry.
现代化茶具
解决中国人更简单方便喝茶的问题，除了茶，还需要创新饮茶的器具。小罐茶时尚而现代化的茶具，化繁为简，将传统功夫茶具中盖碗和公道杯的功能合二为一，并融合西方现代茶具的样式，开启了全新的饮茶体验，让饮茶更加有趣和轻便。为了培养新一代年轻人“习茶”的生活方式，“方便”、“时尚”、“现代”、“深度文化体验”、“品质化生活”等词汇成为小罐茶品牌自身演进的新命题。

It also combines the function of covered bowl and Kowloon cup while integrates the style of western modern tea set. Accordingly, the tea set brings a new experience to people who drink tea.

This time, Xiao Guan Tea, along with international competition platform Young Bird Plan, launches “Guanish” product design international competition. It calls for younger and creative minds to design a new series of tea drinking products which may create new style for young generation to drink tea.
“千禧一代”的现状
Current condition of millennial generation
“千禧一代”被定义为出生在1980年至1996年间的一代人，“Z世代”则生于1997年至2010年间。凯度中国观察网站总编曾表示：“千禧一代”和“Z世代”，大致与中国的“80后”、“90后”两大群体相对应。越深入挖掘，两个世代之间所谓的界限就越模糊。甚至，在绝大多数人的认知中，它们已然组成一股强大的力量，将在未来全球最大的市场重塑消费文化的轨迹。
Millennial generation is defined as the generation born between 1980 and 1996, while Generation Z between 1997 and 2010. The general editor of Kantar China Insights says millennials and generation Z may respectively correspond to 80s and 90s group in China. However, it’s interesting to find that the gap between above two generations becomes more and more blurred in pace with your deeper exploration. And it is even widely recognized that the two generations have combined into one strong group with great power which will reshape the consumption culture in the global market.
小罐茶 VS 传统茶叶
Xiao Guan Tea VS Traditional Tea
毋庸置疑地，如何赢得和“千禧一代”、“Z世代”对话的权利，已经成为当下商业世界的必修课。且看，“有型有罐”产品设计国际竞赛如何通过文化重塑和需求重构来打造这一世界未来“代表”人群的茶饮消费偏好，产品喜好，并最终将其转化成为一种时代文化。这将成为茶文化在互联网时代一次举足轻重的涅槃重生。
