The story / Yantrik

The character’s story

In our story, Yantrik was born from the amber reflection of tea on a little cup. His favorite tea is Yinghong No. 9 from Yingde, and his favorite task is noticing whoever has stayed quiet at the table. A short question and a well-timed pause help him warm the conversation. His flowing shape of tea warmth neither burns nor releases flames; it recalls how much a thoughtful offering can change a meeting. Yantrik is first to lift the teapot and never forgets to ask whether his guest enjoyed the tea.
