手搖與河川皆承載「水」的容器，我們對手搖十分熟悉，卻對河川一無所知。
(f)lowtea 茶飲調河從臺灣的手搖文化切入，將河水轉譯為手搖造型zine，並以點手搖的流程轉譯為認識河流的媒介，讓大眾以簡單的方式理解河川。
我們精選九條臺灣河川，將其轉化為一杯杯「可閱讀的手搖飲」，將原本分散於學術文本中不易理解的地貌與環境資訊重新整理，設計成容易閱讀的內容。依據各河川資訊量的差異，發展為尺寸不一的zine，並透過統一的編排與多樣紙材選擇，呈現不同河川的地景特性。
在互動的部分，觀者體驗日常的點手搖流程。首先由點餐機介面選擇飲品，觀看動畫呈現該河川轉譯手搖的資訊，在動畫結束時獲得一杯手搖造型zine與收據。由杯身側邊撕開撕條並展開zine，藉由插圖輕鬆理解該河川的地貌、水源脈絡與特色作物。杯蓋則結合了調色盤與透明圖卡，可將封膜撕開後與zine的單元頁互動與對應。
在臺灣，飲食、農業與城市高度依賴河川運作，而臺灣水多卻難留。若不了解河川運作，大眾難以意識到「水」如何構成生活的根本。我們希望透過日常的手搖載體與點餐流程，將原本抽象的河川知識轉化為可被閱讀與觸碰的生活經驗—讓河川知識自然流入你我的日常。
Both bubble tea and rivers are made up of water. We are familiar with bubble tea, yet know little about the rivers behind it.
(f)lowtea uses Taiwan’s bubble tea culture to make river knowledge accessible. Ordering a drink becomes a way to understand rivers.
Nine rivers are transformed into “readable drinks.” Complex information, such as terrain, water systems, and agriculture, is simplified into clear content. The zines vary in size, with consistent layouts reflecting each river.
The interaction follows a familiar process: users select a drink, watch an animation, and receive a bubble tea–shaped zine. By opening it, they explore illustrated information about rivers. The lid includes color and transparent overlays for interaction.
In Taiwan, life depends on rivers, yet water is limited. This project turns river knowledge into a tangible experience, bringing it into everyday life.
