In collaboration with artist Haa (Han Wenbin), this project presents a limited-edition Year of the Horse coffee and merchandise packaging design inspired by the classic parable Little Horse Crossing the River. Breaking away from conventional Chinese Zodiac clichés, the design establishes a clever parallel between “water levels” and “roast level.” By visually depicting the pony navigating shallow, medium, and deep waters, it directly corresponds to light, medium, and dark roast coffee beans—transforming abstract sensory taste into a vivid visual narrative.
