The beverage is now a mixture of tea with cheese, tapioca balls, or fruits. Most importantly, the tea consumption not only involves customers spending time in long queues, posting picture on the social media, but also disposing of all plastic wares afterwards. Tea drinking in today’s China therefore represents a new type of food consumption in social media and a new set of disposable practices. This paper examines the marketing images, media narratives and photographic practices associated with this new trend of tea drinking. Through analyzing marketing representations of the consumption, it asks the following questions. How does the translucent materiality of plastic mediate the visuality of tea consumption process? Why do people have to take picture when consuming tea? How can we rethink the role of single-use plastic in contemporary food consumption? Last, how can cultural critique of articulating consumption with class and gender differences contribute to the global campaign of reducing single-use plastic?, 岸川あゆみ(訳), 星野幸代(監修)}, pages = {72--82}, title = {写真映えするミルクティー : 使い捨てプラスチックという物質のパフォーマンス}, volume = {12}, year = {2021} }
