烘焙乌龙茶

冬天的夜晚，
冬风冷漠无情地向整个“爱的门”作出不可一世的炫耀。
把我们几乎吹得快要跨了。。。

没想到家竟然是冬天最可靠的知心，
唱完了生日歌，吃完了蛋糕，说完了笑话，吹完了冷风，
回到家，二话不说的就跳上床把棉被一盖，什么事都不管，
只管放纵的去感受温暖又多舒适。

天仁茗茶的烘焙乌龙茶果然味惊四座，
只可惜冬天让茶凉得特快，不然此茶能够更加完美！
在冬天有杯热腾腾的茶喝，
是一件多么幸福的事啊~~~

Japanese Teas

I just found out that there are actually many kinds of Japanese green tea. First of all, the most prominent one would be Sencha and Matcha. Sencha would be considered as the usual drinks in Japan and people can find Sencha everywhere in Japan including some other countries. On the other hand, Matcha is famous for the Japanese Tea Ceremony.

Here are lists of Japanese Green Tea,

番茶 Bancha (common tea)

玄米茶 Genmaicha (brown-rice tea)

玉露 Gyokuro (Jade Dew)

焙じ茶 Hōjicha (roasted tea)

冠茶 Kabusecha (covered tea)

窯煎茶 Kamairicha tea (pan-fried tea)

茎茶 Kukicha (stalk tea)

かりがね Karigane

芽茶 Mecha tea (buds and tips tea)

杭州 - 茶城

天啊~我本来只是想找一找中国杭州一些青年旅舍的相关资料，后来却忍不住要去了解一下杭州茶馆茶楼茶坊茶舍一事。结果没想谷歌地图一打开，杭州的茶馆果然是遍及全城，简直就是每一条大街，每一条小巷统统都是充满着与茶有关的东西。我心里在想，我到底要花多少时间才能逛完所有的茶楼？

还有，我已经说过，除非我不去中国，要不然我非要去杭州西湖的龙井村龙井问茶去！不止，我还要去附近的中国茶叶博物馆看一看。

喜来茶 Happiness comes with tea

人生无常，
充满喜乐悲哀，
欢喜之时，要喝欢喜茶；
悲哀之时，也一样要喝茶。

Life is unpredictable,
it is pervades of happiness and sadness,
enjoy the greatness taste of tea when you are cheerful;
at the same time, enjoy the greatness taste of tea when you are depress.

茶之苦涩清香回甘，
全归根于个人当下的情绪与心境。

The magnificent taste of tea
is instigated one's current emotions and frame of mind.

只要随时持有品常乐观之心，
再次等的茶都是一杯非常清香的茶。

Acquiring a tranquil and sanguine frame of mind,
one will not complain the quality of the tea because they are all the same.

好茶要配合个人心境，当时环境还有茶友的相伴之下，
好茶才称得上为一杯好茶。

Good tea is corresponding with one's emotions, appropriate atmosphere and tea companionship.

人生起伏不定，
生活匆匆繁忙，
连我自己也忘了上一次喝过最好喝的茶是那个时候了。

The inconsistency of life,
and somehow encompass with chaotic events,
I cannot remember when was the last time I had the best tea in my life.

樟树湖的味道渐渐地离我而去。

The sweetness taste of ZhangShuHu (樟树湖)is gradually fading away.

茶禅一味 The oneness of Tea and Zen

茶禅一味，
味味一味。
茶玄禅定，
静心净心。

The oneness of Tea and Zen,
is literally mutual related.
The fragrant of tea is irresistibly perfect,
it could peace and clean your soul.



禅，
意味着一种宁静，
一种境界，
一种智慧。

Zen,
indicates a kind of quietness,
a kind of arena,
a kind of wisdom.

一杯茶，品人生沉浮。
平常心，造万千世界。
一杯清茶，一种人生。

A cup of tea, inspect the happiness and sadness of life.
An ordinary heart, fabricate a hundred of thousand of humanities.
A cup of refreshing tea, a kind of life.

Those days......

I damn miss this place, man...
Can we stop and go back to the past?
Just give me a time machine, I don't care I just wanna go back.
Neither the fragrant nor the scent of the tea taste the same.
How could it be? It's different, just different.....

Memories of TEA

This flower Gaiwan was my birthday present from Si heng and Kang Ean. They know me, they really know me... What else can I say? Let's cherish the friendship!!!

Tea & Friendship = Perfect Matching



Everyone who know me well enough they know that I have a huge passion on tea art and at the same time I'm devoted to horses as well. I could hardly describe the feeling when I saw this Gaiwan (盖碗), the tea cup. The decision was made immediately and I bought it.

Keep it, clean it, play with it and appreciate the Gaiwan for the whole day. But, I haven't use it to drink tea yet 'cause I want it to be my toy or decoration of my teaware collection.

Jasmine Dragon Pearl Green Tea

Wow~ This Jasmine Dragon Pearl Green Tea is one of the finest teas that I have ever tried. I used to drink many kinds of Jasmine Tea before and I have been searching for fine and good quality Jasmine Tea for years. This is what I got! Shape: Round and tightly shaped, color: slightly yellowish, smell: the aroma is heavenly nice, taste: very smooth and you'll miss the taste!

The mixture of green tea and Jasmine flavor is just a perfectly-matched!

茶香味儿

到底是有多久没有真正清闲自在地坐在似古不古，似新不新的樟木茶桌上心静气和地品尝我之最爱的樟树湖？这个问题还是别说最好，免得心疼不已。

有时候，自己对茶味茶感坚持着一种多余的执著。过于的挑剔的口味实在是令人难受。 好茶的定义是在乎于个人的心情，环境的幽静，良朋的谈笑声。可是，我想我是永远都放不下联合茶叶的“四绝”，黑金还有黄茶君山金针的口味。现在，我是有个冲动的想法，买张机票飞去台湾或中国寻找我的全部。杭州狮峰的龙井村是我其中一个最想去的地方。写到这儿，我已从字行间，渐渐的闻到一阵阵的茶香味。我可以想像站在龙井村茶叶行间的那种笔墨所不能形容的感觉是多么的玄之又玄的美好。

茶啊~ 茶啊~
你怎么就那么的神奇，那么的美妙，那么的完美？

你的魅力，
让我神魂颠倒。
你的香味儿，
技惊四座的昏眩。
你的味道，
让我留齿回甘。

I have tried some excellent tea in KL!

Awww, it has been awhile that I have not been writing my blog. Well, things work pretty well this few weeks. I have been to quite a lot of place like the gorgeous Redang Beach and shopping in KL. I shopped until I really drop. Ooops~~~ spend a lot money then together with my darling George. He bought his stuffs and so do I. Actually we should have been to more places like Penang or Singapore. Unfortunately, my parents were not allow me to go Singapore with him. I was so much wanted to go there as I would like to meet his family and friends. Also, George has made a few Restaurant reservation there which I think it's gonna be very fascinating. Gosh~ I missed those nice stuffs, man. What a waste! Well, I think we can only have our romantic moment again probably next year in either US or Aussie. Anyway, I think we seem to work pretty well as a long-distance relationship compared to others.

***** I'm writing my blog now. Guess what is that George doing? He's sort of laughing in front of the Webcam because he's watching some show. Tsk Tsk Tsk~~

Haiz, someone has complaint that I wrote too much Chinese on my blog. What to do? Suppose to be able to read Chinese but lazy and slack when studying last time. How can he not be able to recognize the word "米"? That's impressive!!! 6 years of Chinese learning plus High School. Dear, you should have gone to some Chinese lesson again. Well, if you don't mind, I could be your personal tutor. Don't worry, I charge very reasonable tuition fees. Hahahahahahahaha~~~~~~

On the last day in KL, we went to my favourite tea shop called HOJO. I was expecting to meet Mr. Akira Hojo and talk to him again about the teas and stuffs. Too bad, he wasn't there and no choice we just chatted with the staffs there. We tried 4 kind of teas there. Those are all fabulous gorgeous good quality fine teas. We tested 明前梅家乌龙井，黄茶君山银针，东方美人，and 日本绿茶之王-玉露. In the process of trying those teas, I could even know how to express myself properly. Firstly, the Long Jing tea is better than those George had brought back. The tea left is not that flatten and looked more greenish. The aroma and taste are also very smooth and fine. As for the yellow tea, I have actually told the whole world that I have FINALLY found this kind of tea selling in Malaysia. As what I expected, Mr. Akira Hojo told me that the village and farm of the yellow is extremely small in China. Not many people can get to drink the original tea, not even in China. That's why I'm very particular of differentiating the real and fake tea. I must have a very good background of the tea then only I will taste it and purchase it. I was freaking excited when I saw this tea selling in the tea shop. I think I have almost break my friend's arm when we saw the tea together as I was holding on her elbow. Hahaha. It didn't disappointment me when I tried the yellow tea. The feeling was just "WOW", and then made me close my eyes and taste the flavour of the tea again inside my mouth. Third one, I would place it the second rank fermentation tea if I have to compare it with the "Classic Diamond". It tastes a little bit sweet, also a little bit bitter, but it work perfectly fine with this 2 flavours mixed together. I'm lovin' it! The last one, my favorite! Very fine, very smooth... People always say that you will have nothing to say when you really has the opportunity to drink a very fine quality tea. It completely make you "speechless". Well, I think that's very true. The tea tastes like Lishan and Alisan tea. These 2 are very excellent teas in Taiwan. But I just can't believe that the yellow tea is more expensive than the excellent Taiwan teas.

I'm so so so devoted to Tea Art, Tea drinking, their culture and history. That is just so fascinating to me. I find every single tea leaf has a life and when boiled water pour onto them, it makes them to have a new life again. Yeah, cannot be denied. This is called ART.

How perfectly satisfying to me when I just have an empty moment to watch and appreciate the tea leaf flow up and down through the water inside the transparent tea cup.
