Gifts

When you visit our home Guizhou, you will always find yourself invited to someone’s home for food and tea.  來者是客 “Whoever comes is a guest” has been deeply ingrained in our culture. 

For generations, our livelihood relies on the generosity of wild nature, and whatever comes from nature should not be possessed but shared. To us, this defines the word “gift”, 禮 in Chinese: it is an intention, a manner, an exchange as well as an expression of gratitude. 

Thank you for extending the meanings of gift with your purchases, and for making the world more intimate and generous because of your sharing.
