It is a way of life—a portable tea experience that moves with you; it is a sense of comfort, tangible and perceptible. From the visual to the auditory, and finally to the tactile, it delves into the very essence of life, weaving together the imagination of comfort and connecting to the richness of individual experiences. We do not seek fleeting moments of joy, but rather a continuous flow of ease. The undulating water surface, following the rhythm of time, settles gracefully into its own pace.

01 Modern Portable Tea Set:Designed with “lightness” as its essence, this tea set adapts to the “fast-paced” rhythm of modern life better. When stored, it becomes a compact ensemble, with a teapot, serving pitcher, and four cups neatly nestled within a single box. When displayed, it unfolds into an orderly yet fluid arrangement, forming a complete tea station that functions as both a tea tray and a draining board. Versatile and unbound, it embodies a sense of effortless freedom.

02 Creative Water Ripple Element:Water, formless yet adaptive, mirrors the essence of inclusivity in Chinese culture—a perfect harmony with the attributes of this portable tea set. By crafting an environment with "water," we evoke a sense of fluid serenity. Following the meandering ripples, boundaries dissolve, and the tea station becomes a flowing presence, casually arranged yet seamlessly integrated into every facet of life.

03 The Simple Order of Black and White:Black and white, the essence of simplicity and totality, embody the return to a pure and timeless order after traversing the complexities of life. These two colors, stripped of excess, convey a sense of inclusivity and restraint. Their adaptability interprets the rationality and romance of Neo-Modernism, inviting a moment of casual yet profound stillness.

04 A Continuous Flow of Ease:Reflect the rhythm of life through the movement of water, finding depth in simplicity and vastness in detail. Whether lively and dynamic or quietly serene, the tea set becomes a bridge between nature and personal sensation. Our focus is not on fleeting moments of delight, but on a continuous flow of comfort.
