心血来潮。独自到茶淵品茶。
整十多年没来了。大致上没什么改变。感觉却全然不同了。
今天选了品尝福建东北部政和县盛产的上等白毫银针。白毫银针是白茶中的珍品，曾荣获“首届全国十大名茶”称号。它的茶叶色白如银，纤细如针。有听过它的传说吗？
用这茶具沏白毫银针不太恰当。没关系。享受这里的宁静也不错。
有好一段日子没有如此孑然其中，心境恬淡。
我对品茶和茶具有浓厚的兴趣。各种类的茶需要不同的茶具沏茶。我所拥有的茶具，都是辛辛苦苦从中国扛回来的。至今，最喜欢的一套茶具是我表妹一家人送的。表妹知道我喜爱乌龙，就定期从福建省寄上好的茶叶过来。
淡淡的茶香，召唤许多美好回忆。中学时曾经在这茶淵徘徊，度过许多欢乐时光。
都是往事了。 如今的我，也不再是往日的我了。我想，还是比较喜欢现在的我。
不知道朋友中有没有志同道合的爱茶人士。蓝月，有空吗？
平静的下午，很快就过去了。感悟已经足够了。
一定再来。是先静心，再品茶，让心灵随茶香弥漫，任由心性，好不造作。
兴亡千古繁华梦，诗眼倦天涯。 孔林乔木，吴宫蔓草，楚庙寒鸦。 数间茅屋，藏书万卷，投老村家。 山中何事，松花酿酒，春水煎茶。 —《人月圆。山中书事》

babe did you write this? woah
I remember going to a tea house in China and the first thing that struck me was a two liner printed in bold near the entrance that says that even with top grade tea leaves, it requires someone who knows how to appreciate tea to know it's top grade but more important, is a person who can let go of their worries, be at peace, and only then can they smell the faint aroma of the tea leaves. How apt.
Oh yes, I love 茶淵 too! Haven't been there for ages as well, and though I'm far from a tea fanatic, but definitely love and appreciate such experiences - savouring the good tea and soaking in the ambience.
I didn't know your Chinese is so articulate as well. =)
how quaint!!!
ehh...me more plebian. will drink instant tea. love the aromas of Chinese tea. but doesn't make a difference to me whether i drink it or not.
I heard so much abt this place, must check it out during my bday next week!
kismet: yup. but of course i didn't write the the poem at the bottom!!
dr: exactly. apt! and you helped me translate a couple of lines frm this post already!
jun: i'm sure u do enjoy the tea and company! heh. i'm one of those crazy people who at A levels, took GP in Chinese in addition to GP EL. AND Higher Chinese as one of my main papers. i was swimming in emo poetry man. 1 of my texts was 老舍的《茶馆》i also ploughed through 《茶经》. very dramatic.
dainty daisy: u cannot believe how finicky i am about tea.
furfur angel: it's not fancy, but it's comfortable. they've got a good selection of teas and snacks. happy birthday in advance!
haha i went 茶渊 before too! Also for 《茶馆》too! haha some things dont change even after so many years huh? :)
haha, what came over you babe?
wah. you were in such a reflective mood?
Heh I can identify! not as mad as you, I stopped at Higher Chinese and Chinese Lit at O Levels.. The mugging was no joke, but getting to understand the beauty of the language was simply wonderful. Heart the emo poems too!
woot! scared ur chinese getting rusty izzit? that's why come out with 1 cheem post where i can only understand like half of it???! grrr.
oh my! you are good with languages! english, chinese, thai (what else?) and you seem pretty good in all of them! i have always been weak in languages although i enjoy learning them.
dee
Wow, impressive! Your Chinese quite the powderful leh...
I used to visit Tea Chapter years ago but prefer the neighbour, Yi Xin Xuan which have moved behind.
dee: i pick up languages rather easily. my math and science- Z.E.R.O
sesame: boh bian. i had to pass my exams...and make a living!! i haven't tried Yi Xin Xuan! now that you've mentioned it, i'm going to look out for it!
I love the 'gao shan cha' which I bought in Taiwan previously, maybe u wanna give that a try. My apologies...I do not have chinese software that allows me to input chinese characters in here. :P
oh.. forgot to reply you.
有空有空。let me see.. i can make it 14th-16th dec, either that or... after i come back from taiwan, which is after 23rd. :)
