DESIGN STORY
 
Introducing our COT T-Shirt, a vibrant homage to one of Hong Kong's culinary treasures. The unique design features a handwritten order slip showcasing the acronym "COT," reminiscent of those penned by waiters in traditional Cha Chaan Teng (Hong Kong Style Cafe).  This hand-written detail connects the shirt to the bustling atmosphere of these local diners, evoking nostalgia for those who have enjoyed the rich culinary tradition of Hong Kong.
 
The acronym "COT" adds symbolic meaning to this design. "C" stands for Cold, "O" represents the Cantonese pronunciation of zero, which means lemon, and "T" stands for Tea. "COT" is a common slang used between waiters and kitchen staff in Cha Chaan Teng, encapsulating the informal yet vibrant camaraderie of these traditional eateries.
 
This design captures the essence of a refreshing summer favorite, featuring a graphic print of cold lemon tea adorned with five perfectly sliced lemons—an iconic representation of this cultural delicacy.
