Craftsmanship Origin
Derived from the millennium-old Xiangyunsha dyeing and finishing techniques of Lingnan, it is refined through more than ten purely manual processes, including repeated immersion in yam sap, mud sealing and sun-drying, and sun exposure. The fabric, imbued with the passage of time, naturally possesses a warm, matte texture that becomes more ancient and charming with use. It represents an elegant continuation of a national intangible cultural heritage in contemporary tea culture.
Pattern Symbolism
Featuring a core pattern of golden bamboo on an ink background, the sparsely arranged bamboo branches grow haphazardly, symbolizing the character of a gentleman and the philosophy of refined indifference. The auspicious meanings of "bamboo reports peace" and "rising steadily" blend with the meditative space of the tea ceremony, conveying the life aesthetics of Eastern literati with every brew.
Dimensions
51cm × 22cm, suitable for mainstream dry tea tables and tea trays, neither cramped nor redundant, leaving just the right amount of blank space for the tea ceremony's aesthetic.
Craft Material
Made from authentic Shunde Xiangyunsha, with mulberry silk as the base, treated with the unique processes of yam dyeing and river mud sun-drying. The fabric surface forms unique "crack patterns," which are flexible and textured to the touch, combining the delicacy of silk with the resilience of natural materials.
Enhanced Practical Performance
• Water and Stain Resistant: The natural yam coating provides excellent hydrophobic properties. Tea spills are not easily absorbed and can be wiped clean, eliminating the worry of tea stains.
• Durable and Wrinkle-Resistant: More wear-resistant and wrinkle-resistant than ordinary silk, it resists creases from daily folding and storage, maintaining an elegant appearance whenever used.
• Becomes More Beautiful with Use: With increased use, the Xiangyunsha gradually develops a warm patina, and its color becomes deeper and more subtle, becoming a unique mark of your passage of time.
• Breathable and Skin-Friendly: Natural fibers are breathable and not stuffy, and the touch is warm and not cold, making it comfortable for use in all seasons.
