Taurus Wenwan Walnut · 36mm · Natural · Select Ritual

The Taurus Wenwan Walnut, also known as the Sendai Official Cap, is a premium grafted Official Hat variety primarily cultivated in Xinglong and Laishui, Hebei. It features a classic heart-shaped profile with a smooth rounded tip, wide and sturdy ridges, a full rounded body, and a clean, flat base. Its delicate mesh pattern is complemented by fine "cowhair" texture, creating a refined appearance that is both attractive and easy to brush.

Its dense shell and naturally wax-rich yellow surface provide a satisfying weight in hand while promoting fast, even patina development. With regular brushing and handling, Taurus Wenwan Walnuts develop color quickly with virtually no prolonged transition stage, gradually maturing into a bright Oxford-red patina with a smooth, translucent, glass-like finish. The variety is especially appreciated for its stable coloring and resistance to developing muddy tones, even for enthusiasts with naturally sweaty hands.

Large, well-matched pairs measuring over 40 mm are relatively uncommon, making them particularly desirable among collectors. Combining classic Official Hat proportions, beginner-friendly maintenance, and excellent patina potential, the Taurus Wenwan Walnut is an outstanding choice for both new and experienced Wenwan enthusiasts.
