A Note Before We Begin
This Yixing teapot set is one of our personal favorites—not just because of the high-quality clay used by the artisan, but because of the ancient poem inscribed on it (which we explain below). These verses have been passed down for over a thousand years and, in my view, represent the very pinnacle of classical Chinese culture—truly unmatched.

They speak to timeless questions: how to face hardship, how to find inner peace, and how to remain whole in the face of adversity. Both the poem and the life of its author offer space for reflection—and perhaps even answers that speak to your own experience.

Now, our marketing advisor warned us not to make this product description too long. "No one reads all the way through," they said. But I’m breaking the rules a little here. If you’ve made it this far, there’s a small surprise waiting for you: a special discount code, just for those who read to the end. Thank you.

Crafted from premium original ore purple clay, this Yixing teapot gift set brings together tradition, artistry, and thoughtful detail. The rounded Yuanrun teapot features a full belly and gentle silhouette—symbolizing abundance and inner peace. Paired with two perfectly sized matching cups, it makes for a harmonious trio ideal for sharing tea with close companions.

What sets this piece apart is the elegantly applied Chinese calligraphy on the pot and cups. The poetic verse, “Turning back toward the place once bleak—there is neither wind nor rain, nor clear sky,” is adapted from a celebrated line by Su Shi (1037–1101), one of the most revered literary figures of China’s Song Dynasty. Known for his resilience and philosophical depth, Su Shi’s works have become emblematic of the traditional Chinese literati spirit.

Rather than being carved, the verse is applied using fine decal techniques, preserving the soft charm of brushwork. This poetic adornment reflects a worldview of calm acceptance and grace in the face of life's uncertainties—perfectly aligned with the meditative ritual of tea.

The set comes in refined gift packaging and includes a certificate of authenticity. It is a fitting choice for personal enjoyment or meaningful gifting.
