Eight Treasures Tea" is a unique type of herbal tea from Ningxia province in China. It is recognized as a cultural legacy of Ningxia due to its unique recipe, medicinal properties, health benefits, and rich history of thousands of years. However, the public in China, especially the young generation, seems unaware of these cultural and nutritional characteristics of Ningxia's Eight Treasures Tea. A preliminary observation has shown that visual and verbal elements of the existing Ningxia's Eight Treasures Tea packaging design are insufficient to articulate its 'values' as a cultural object to the public. The study develops a conceptual framework based on a literature review to address this gap. It proposes a practice-based research methodology using various data collection methods, including visual analysis, semi-structured interviews, and reflective practice, to produce a creative packaging that can effectively embody the cultural values of Ningxia's Eight Treasures Tea. This study demonstrates the interrelated connection between research and training and the critical role of a practitioner as a researcher rather than just an information processor.
