【Local Taiwanese Shop - Comprehensive After-Sales Service】 【Each Piece Comes with a Certificate】 【Stone Red Zhu Ni】 Stone Red Zhu Ni originates from Zhaozhuang Village in Dingshu Town. As is widely known, Zhaozhuang Village is abundant in Stone Red, Stone Yellow, and Zhu Ni. Stone Red Zhu Ni is formed by the accompanying Stone Red unearthed alongside Zhu Ni during mining. The master meticulously selects these symbiotic raw ores and refines them together, thus Stone Red Zhu Ni embodies the essence of both Stone Red and Zhu Ni. This particular clay was mined and processed 20 years ago. Due to its complex selection process and the high difficulty in crafting teapots with it, it is rarely used. Stone Red Zhu Ni uses raw clay and uncured materials, preserving the natural texture of the clay and displaying a warm, unique aesthetic. In terms of its clay properties, Stone Red Zhu Ni has a heavier sandy texture. Therefore, the teapot body differs from ordinary Zhu Ni. While it lacks obvious shrinkage lines, it possesses a distinct granular feel. It is worth noting that both Stone Red Zhu Ni and Zhu Ni have a shrinkage rate of 28%, yet their finished product effects are markedly different, highlighting its uniqueness. In terms of tea brewing performance, while ordinary Zhu Ni focuses on retaining aroma, Stone Red Zhu Ni excels at softening water quality and possesses extremely high breathability, making the tea liquor smoother and rounder in taste, presenting a pure, natural flavor. 【Vessel Form Origin】 Inheriting the classic Shuiping (horizontal) teapot's characteristic of "water not sinking." Due to its ample belly and excellent heat retention, it is an exceptional tool for brewing Taiwanese high mountain oolong and Dong Ding oolong tea. Moon at Zenith In Chan Buddhism and Song Dynasty Neo-Confucianism, "Moon at Zenith" is often used to describe a state of fulfillment in life and profound enlightenment of the mind. Examples include the common phrases in Song Dynasty and later poetry such as "The moon at zenith shines brighter" and "The night air is clear when the moon reaches its peak." Ancient people believed that when the dark clouds disperse and the bright moon hangs high in the sky, it is the moment when the "true mechanism" of heaven and earth is revealed. Literati inscribed this phrase on teapots, meaning: when you hold this pot, savor tea, and gaze at the moon, if your state of mind can be as clear and bright as the moon at its zenith, you can achieve true inner peace. 【Frequently Asked Questions QA】 1.
