'infusing' and 'packed'

On package of Dilmah tea, it says:

Traditional, authentic Ceylon tea, infusing real leaf character & taste, packed at origin, rich in antioxidants.

Why do the word 'infusing' use '-ing' form and the word 'packed' use '-ed' form?

Does it mean this?

Traditional, authentic Ceylon tea, (which infuses) real leaf character & taste, (which is packed) at origin, rich in antioxidants.

P.S. If there is anything ungrammatical in my post, please correct it. I am grateful for your help.

Essentially yes. "infusing" has an active sense, i.e. Ceylon tea is the subject of the verb, while "packed" has a passive sense, i.e. Ceylon tea is the object of the verb.
