Craftsmanship Origin

Utilizing digital printing technology to replicate the nuanced effect of traditional Chinese meticulous heavy-color painting, this piece restores the soft, smooth texture and ink gradients of Xiangyun silk on a high-density waterproof fabric. The fabric surface is professionally treated for water repellency, balancing traditional aesthetic quality with modern practical needs. This breaks the limitation of traditional tea mats being "beautiful to look at, but hard to maintain," creating a Chinese tea mat that is appealing, usable, and easy to care for in daily tea ceremonies.

Pattern Meaning

The tea mat features "Ink Lotus Serenity" as its core theme, with a double-sided, symmetrical design from the same series. The overall color scheme is dark green and navy blue, with a gradient of white lotus and golden-brown lotus pod elements, and subtle oriental patterns faintly appearing, creating an elegant ambiance of "a pond of lotus breezes, a mat full of serenity."

• The lotus symbolizes the noble character of being "unsullied by the mud," echoing the serene and self-contained spirit of the tea ceremony; the lotus pod signifies good fortune, longevity, and enduring elegance. The intertwining flowers and leaves convey the beautiful wish of "lotus breeze carrying fragrance, peace and harmony year after year."

• The patterns on both sides echo each other: one side emphasizes the dignified bloom of the main lotus, while the other highlights the dynamic unfurling of the side lotus. This allows for free switching based on the tea ceremony setting and mood, offering two scenes in one item, suitable for different tea ceremony styles.
