Tea Route Archive

Create a Maritime Tea Road archive infographic for the editorial team of a cultural exhibition. Explain how tea traveled between 1517 and 1839 from Guangzhou through Batavia, Amsterdam, London, and Boston to Calcutta, using merchant ships and port networks. The infographic appears on an interior brochure page for a general audience.

Design a vertical, single-page infographic with an approximately 4:5 aspect ratio. Display the page number as “01 / 01”.

Use “TEA ROUTE ARCHIVE” and “SERIES NO.01 / MARITIME ROUTE”. State the conclusion in the headline: “1517–1839: The Maritime Tea Road Connected Guangzhou with the World”. Retain “TEA.”, “THE TEA ROAD”, “FROM CHINA TO THE WORLD”, and “A THREE-HUNDRED-YEAR TRANSOCEANIC JOURNEY”. Add the note: “Arranged by the archival milestones and dates listed for 1517–1839. ROUTES INDICATE DIRECTION OF TRANSMISSION ONLY.” Include a black-and-white macro photograph of tea-leaf veins labeled “FIG.01” and a black-and-white photograph of hands processing tea labeled “FIG.02”, with faces unidentifiable.

Title the main section “THE MARITIME TEA ROAD”. Connect these stops in sequence with a wavy route line: “1517 GUANGZHOU”, “1607 BATAVIA”, “1610 AMSTERDAM”, “1658 LONDON”, “1773 BOSTON”, and “1839 CALCUTTA”. Show each port name and year exactly once. Add “HOW TO READ” with: “Wavy line = direction of transmission”, “Node = port and archival year”, and “Horizontal line = reading aid, not a numerical scale”. Match the legend’s line styles and node symbols to the route. Calcutta follows Boston according to the supplied archival sequence; the ordering is archival, with exact geographic distance and one continuous historical voyage unspecified.

Include “PORT & YEAR INDEX” with all six port entries grouped as three pairs in a 3-by-2 set. Include “SOURCE: MARITIME TEA ROAD EXHIBITION ARCHIVE COMPILATION” and “INFOGRAPHIC BY: CULTURAL EXHIBITION EDITORIAL TEAM”. Retain the usage statement and the note “ROUTES INDICATE DIRECTION OF TRANSMISSION ONLY.”

Use warm ivory paper, charcoal and gray tones, and restrained vermilion-orange accents. Give the piece an understated archival-publication character with clear, carefully edited typography. Keep both photographs high-contrast black and white.
