于河南一处庭院作坊车制而成

Michael Zhan 在 2019 年首次遇见这些茶针的制作者,那趟采购行程表面上是为了信阳绿茶合作社。作坊位于郑州郊外的村落——一处庭院、一台自行车床、一座木柴炉,以及一面墙上轮替晾干的半成品毛坯。这位工匠现年六十出头,自 1980 年代后期起便一直车制小型木器:筷子、发簪、笔搁,而后在 2000 年代功夫茶复兴浪潮触及河南内陆时,开始制作茶针。

樱桃木来源于作坊方圆五十公里内的果园修剪枝——是结果的樱桃树,而非观赏品种,冬季截下后在遮盖下自然风干至少十八个月才用以车制。每支茶针一次成型:先粗车,静置两天让残余水分发布,再重新切削至最终外形,以手工由粗到细经四种砂纸打磨,最后涂上冷压核桃油。没有金属套圈、没有胶合、没有榫接——整件工具就是单一木块。

Michael 刻意维持小量订单。作坊在处理其他委托之余,每月大约能制作四十支茶针,我们取二十支。一批卖完就是卖完了——我们会等待下一批毛坯干燥车制,而非要求增量。制作者偏好如此,我们亦然。每支茶针附上一张短纸条,标注车制月份。

The leaf, brewed

How it handles in the hand

dry leaf

Warm honey-brown grain with faint ray flecks. Smells of dry attic wood and a thin whisper of walnut oil.

wet leaf

After a wipe-down the grain darkens half a shade; cherry takes water without swelling or splintering.

liquor

Tip leaves a clean parting line in the cake — no shredded fibers, no fractured chunks on the tray.

aroma

Bare wood — no lacquer, no perfume. Picks up the cake's scent within a week of use.

taste

Neutral to the tea itself: cherry wood is dense, closed-grain, and does not leach into the leaf during contact.

finish

Patinas slowly to a deeper amber. The handle takes the oils of the hand and becomes glossy by month six.

Brewing

A method, not a recipe.

将针尖沿着茶饼的自然缝隙以浅角度插入,然后撬动——不要从表面硬撬。每次使用后擦拭干净。
