Cteacer brand culture
Brand Name Interpretation:
- Cteacer: A creative combination word, consisting of Chunshan (Spring Mountain) + Tea + Ceramic. The brand philosophy is "With porcelain as a boat, carrying tea up the mountain - Reconstructing the landscape spirit of contemporary people's residence"
- Chunshan: Direct translation in Chinese as "Spring Mountain". In traditional cultural imagery, spring mountains represent vitality, elegance, abundance and hope. It aligns with the characteristics of tea growing in the mountains and absorbing natural essence, and also metaphorically represents the process of Jingdezhen's porcelain clay undergoing sedimentation to become beautiful pieces.
The story of the Cteacer brand
Craftsmanship blends together, and the beauty of Spring Mountain is within reach.| Cteacer
- Origin: Echoes from the depths of the earth and gifts from the mountains and forests
In Changnan Ancient Town, the kiln fire has never gone out for thousands of years. Under the feet of Jingdezhen, precious porcelain clay has been precipitated and crystallized over time, waiting for the hands of the artisans to bestow upon it a soul. Far away, on the summit of the cloud-shrouded Spring Mountain, ancient tea trees are rooted in fertile soil, breathing in the dew and morning breeze, condensing the essence of heaven and earth into each tender bud. The two cultural pearls, porcelain and tea, that originated from the fertile soil of the East, crossed time and space in the vision of Cteacer. They were originally the spiritual carriers of the same origin, with the objects reflecting the state of mind, and the tea soup nourishing the soul. The brand founder deeply understood this, gazing at the flowing light of the kiln ruins beside him, and savoring the time-accumulated essence in the misty tea mountain, thus deciding: Create a world, so that the thousand-year porcelain art is no longer just a container for tea, but becomes a confidant that ignites the tea fragrance; Let the tea aroma and tea rhythm no longer merely satisfy the tongue, but release the complete vitality due to the reflection of the object.
- Fusion: Molding through fire and clay, conveying the message
In the core area of Jingdezhen, Cteacer established a deep connection with generations of traditional porcelain masters. We delved into the secrets of kaolin, selecting the most moist, dense, and resonant porcelain clay. The glaze mixture retained the essence of ancient techniques and incorporated modern aesthetics, with the blue glaze smooth as rain-washed sky blue, the white glaze calm as the first snow in winter, and the colored glaze drawing the vitality of the four seasons from the mountains.
Each piece of the object, from the shaping of the clay to the finishing of the trimming, from the dynamic depiction of the underglaze blue to the artistic embellishment of the overglaze colors, was poured with heart and effort by experienced artisans. The kiln is the sanctuary of clay and fire. We meticulously controlled the different characteristics of Wood-fired Kiln, gas kilns, and electric kilns, only for the most suitable texture of the kiln body, the glaze surface cracking, and the flow of light and shadow - form, color, capacity, aroma retention, heat insulation... Everything points to one core: To find the best expressioner for the "tea nature" of each type of famous Chinese tea. A thin-walled white porcelain covered bowl is an excellent stage to awaken the lively spring essence of high-fragrance green tea; The stable and thickly-fired stoneware pot can tame the deep years of old Pu'er tea; The small and exquisite blue and white conical cup can bear the subtle layers of rock bone and flower fragrance. The foundation of Cteacer is to precisely interpret the language of Chinese tea with Jingdezhen porcelain.
- New life: Drinking tea, reaching for the mountains
Cteacer not only creates objects, but also creates a lifestyle that returns to the original state: "With the porcelain beside you, the spring mountains are not far away." When the warm tea ware is held in the hand, the fingertips touch the residual warmth of the thousand-year kiln fire; When the clear tea soup is poured into the desired tea cup, the water vapor rises, seemingly carrying the fragrance of the plants in the distant mountains. This tea table is isolated from the hustle and bustle. The tea fragrance lingers, releases, and sublimates in the carefully crafted porcelain, allowing the drinker to immerse themselves in the all-round beauty of the tea soup from visual, tactile to olfactory and gustatory. Every time you raise the cup, it is a pilgrimage to the Eastern aesthetic of tranquility, elegance, nature, and health. The porcelain with the spring mountains as its foundation becomes a poetic bridge connecting the present and the eternal, and man and nature.
