"When the flower blooms, one sees Buddha-nature." Here, the flower refers to the lotus, symbolizing wisdom and enlightenment. Because of the lotus's purity—rising from the mud unsullied—Buddhism regards it as a sacred flower, using it as a metaphor for the Buddha. The lotus is also one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols, and Shakyamuni placed it in the most exalted position, even referring to himself as the "Lotus Prince."

The design of tea caddies in the shape of lotus flowers evokes a sense of familiarity with the Chinese people, a feeling that has been passed down through generations.

Embodying the important connotations of Eastern tea culture, "Brahman and Atman are one, Zen and tea are one," the aroma of incense and tea permeates the monk's robe, making tea drinking an opportunity for enlightenment and a vehicle for the subtle transmission of spiritual essence.

Iron, with its rustic and weathered texture, and silver, with its disinfecting properties, are a perfect match for tea. Iron-wrapped silver tea scoops exude both antiquity and nobility.
