This limited-edition collection is a tribute to my family’s history and legacy. To celebrate four decades, I have selected four Jingdezhen gaiwans, each with a custom painting by Vancouver-based artist Su Jiangang.

These paintings represent four significant moments in my personal journey as a Chinese tea master. I am very proud to share a part of my family's legacy with you. These stories reflect our growth as a family business and the passion that drives us forward year after year.

Jingdezhen gaiwans are a form of art; they display incredible quality and modern design while paying respect to traditional methods of craftsmanship. Every aspect of these gaiwans is designed with intention. I want these to be pieces you can use and admire at home. Thank you for joining me in celebrating forty one years with Treasure Green!

我非常榮幸能夠和大家分享我們家族的故事。為了慶祝本茶莊四十周年，我與溫哥華藝術家蘇建剛攜手合作，度身訂製一組四只蓋碗，謹以此限量版蓋碗系列紀念我家族茶業的歷史傳承。對應著四個十年，每個圖案分別代表我作為中國茶人，生命旅程中的四個重要階段。這些故事既體現著我們家族企業的共同成長，亦傳達了每位家族成員對茶文化的衷心熱愛，引領著我們向前不斷突破，蓬勃發展。作為一種藝術載體，蓋碗集傳統工藝和現代設計於一身，將跨世代的美學融為一體。這系列蓋碗，每個環節都精雕細琢，務求使實用性及藝術性達到平衡，臻於完美。由此出發，在未來的旅程，希望大家能伴我同行，一起開創美好的新篇章。

Su Jiangang is a contemporary Chinese painter and calligrapher, originally from ChangShu, China. He now lives and works in Vancouver, Canada teaching calligraphy and sharing his artistry. 

In the early eighties, Su became a student of renowned calligrapher Yan Gong Da. Su’s work favoured expression over mere formal likeness. Through his meticulous brushwork and precise choice of colour, he captures the living essence of his subjects elegantly.

Although painting in ancient aesthetics, Su’s work is far from detached from the contemporary human experience. By selecting themes and subjects closely related to his everyday life,

Su gives the classical style a breath of new life. The weighty connection to the past blends harmoniously with Su’s innate expression of innocent playfulness, making the depiction of his subjects a true delight to behold.

苏健刚，中国书画艺术家。1974年生于常熟。八十年代即师从著名书法篆刻家言恭达先生。他有深厚的传统书法底蕴，勾山写松求得古人空灵静雅之气，魏晋林下之风，并努力下功问道古人。其古典山水花鸟作品工兼写意。工笔细腻干净，皆于精微处见巧妙。而写意部分往往虚淡而飘渺，使得主题更加突出。他在营造畫境高冷空灵、清新隽永同時但并不急于创新，而是希望先接古人之气，虽然当下的生存环境已无法还原古人的生活状态，但是他用旧纸，寻古墨，对作画用的毛笔精益求精，试圖通他們来与古人神交，这也不失为一种对传统的尊重与传承。

生活在以西方藝術為主流的世界中，苏健刚自然也十分钟情其藝術的開放和多樣性，但他更寄情于水墨宣纸间的中国世外桃源。通过读宋元经典名画，他与先人对话，感受其静，其古。观其画，多有一种静而谧，动欲飞之感，使画面显的空灵而不刻板。其笔下娴静的古鹿呼之欲出，松柏掩映给人以满纸生风的视觉感受。这种动静结合使得画境幽深且绵延曲婉，有咫尺万遥，天然而自绝于俗的画之气质。

其书法作品大美天成，读之可洗心；其绘画作品，清新典雅，读之可神游。
