Collection: Lion Head Family

The King of the Walnut World.

The Lion Head (Shi Zi Tou) is the most prestigious and widely collected variety in the history of Chinese walnuts. Historically favored by royalty and high officials, this family is named after the majestic Chinese Guardian Lions due to its robust, round shape and deep, fierce textures.

If you are looking for the "perfect" walnut experience, the Lion Head family is the gold standard.

Why Collectors Choose Lion Head:

• The Perfect Shape: Known for being round, full, and aesthetically pleasing. It is the standard by which all other walnuts are measured.
• The Best Patina: This variety is famous for its ability to change color. With daily play, the shell transforms from a wood tone to a transparent, agate-red gem.
• Diverse Varieties: This collection includes the most famous sub-varieties, including the fast-coloring White Lion, the stable Millstone, the legendary Four Towers, and the dense Apple Garden.

Who is this for? Whether you are a beginner looking for your first pair or a master collector seeking a rare specimen, the Lion Head family offers the best balance of beauty, texture, and history.
