The pot is the Tea‘s father.

“Water is the mother of tea, and the pot is the father.” brewing a fine Cup of tea not only requires good water but also demands a quality vessel. If we compare the tea leaves to a child and the water to a mother, they are both embraced within the arms of the Yixing clay pot, which is like a father. A father's love is silent and profound, silently embracing his family with a broad chest. The tea emits a lingering fragrance in the father's embrace, while the water flows smoothly under the nourishment of love.

Just as wife and child are the most important parts of a father's soul, the flavor of the tea infusion has long been absorbed into the very essence, soul, and life of the Yixing clay pot. As a result, the longer the pot is used, the more it develops a spiritual presence.
