Abstract: (1) Objective: This paper conducts a comparative study on the perceptual value of fabrics dyed with tea leaves and tea stems and explores the changes and differences in the Kansei image of the dyed fabrics to provide practical guidance for the product design dyed of tea leaves and tea stems based on the experimental results. (2) Methods: firstly, an effective dyeing method was selected through literature research to dye the samples. Secondly, Kansei words were collected and screened out, and the SD scale was established for a perceptual experiment. Thirdly, a factor analysis was performed on the quantified perceptual evaluation data to compare the changes in the fabric perceptual value before and after dyeing. A T-test and cluster analysis were used to study the difference between them. Finally, according to the fabric perceptual experience results, the product design was put into practice. (3) Conclusion: the perceptual value of all the fabrics dyed with Oolong tea leaves and tea stems were improved. Except for silk chiffon and Tencel, there was no significant difference between tea stems dyeing and tea leaves dyeing in other fabrics, which shows that tea stems dyeing has great perceptual value and reuse value.
