一座山村作坊、一個竹製座架,以及 Michael 尋找完美注水的過程

Michael Zhan 在福建北部山區的一間小作坊發現了這個座架,離供應當地招牌竹編器具的竹林不遠。當時他正為另一個專案採購濃香岩茶,一位當地中介提起有位木匠專門為老茶館製作「水塔」。出於好奇,Michael 沿著土路步行,來到三座作坊聚集之處,那裡父子們仍以手工劈竹。

這個水瓶座架本非商品——一位年邁的茶師為他的學生訂製了一套六個,每個都根據學生擁有的水瓶高度精準裁切。Michael 花了兩個下午,觀看師傅調整榫接,並以裝滿石頭的壺測試穩定性。他說服作坊生產一小批量,採用標準高度與頂環,並使用已風乾三個雨季的八年老毛竹。

每個座架均以榫卯接合組裝,無膠無釘。頂環經蒸氣軟化彎曲,再以單股藤條綑綁。由於竹子是活材,每座都有自己獨特的竹節紋理與輕微色差——正是茶人所珍視的不規則之美。Michael 每年返回一次,檢視新收穫的竹材,並帶回十二件作品。

In the workshop's words

Quiet presence, warm touch, and a faint memory of bamboo forest

Grain, at rest

The surface is hand-sanded to a silky grain, with a soft honey-gold patina that deepens with age. The subtle scent is reminiscent of dry bamboo leaves.

Under water

When a damp cloth passes over it, the bamboo releases a faint, sweet steam like fresh-cut grass.

In low light

The stand itself catches the light in narrow vertical stripes, its shadow bringing a rhythmic stillness to the room.

Scent

Over time, it will absorb whispers of the tea session — a blend of wood, water, and damp stone.

Underhand

Not a taste, but a constant tactile assurance: the carafe is there when you need it, the stand sturdy and unmoving.

Finish, over time

When the last guest leaves, the stand remains — a quiet reminder of the gathering, grain after grain.

Setting it up

放置在主泡茶者伸手可及之處,略偏左或右,讓水壺把手朝向外側。此座架不適用於爐灶或沸騰水壺——僅供室溫或微溫水使用。
