約會七千五百年
傳說金童玉女某年七夕在天庭失儀被玉帝貶到人間，配為情侶但不許成婚；必須經歷七世的苦戀，功德完滿愛情才可以開花結果。合指一算，從秦代孟姜女至明代劉瑞蓮只不過二千多年。誰會如此長情等待？
天娜酒窖約會你7·5世紀。我沒有那麼長命，但原生古茶樹卻有。印度、錫蘭丶緬甸、中國一直都在爭做茶的原產地。結果是雲南的3200年古樹茶勝出。我們有幸獲得三千二百年古茶樹1985年製成的普洱青餅和散青茶，以及一千年古樹2019年製成的普洱紅茶。三款加起來豈不是7500年？
欣賞原生野生古樹茶和欣賞人工栽培雕琢的台地茶是完全兩碼事，情況有點像摩登風格的葡萄酒和古方天然栽種的天然酒。如果飲過七零年代以前意大利羅馬出產的Fiorano，便會明白我在說什麼。古樹茶的茶氣，純净而王道，三泡馬上感覺到。懂得內觀的朋友一定可以感受到。
我們於2020年二月二十九日假座灣仔瑞吉酒店的＂潤＂中菜館榮譽呈獻＂約會7500年＂品茗午宴。只限七位。看看誰有這份因緣享受極品古樹茶。
Rendezvous 7500 Ans
Legend says that the Golden Boy and the Jade Girl (servants of the Heavenly Lords) are degraded to the mortal’s world by the Heavenly Emperor because they make passes to each another on the Qixi Festival long time ago. They are supposed to fall in love but not allowed to marry until their sin is atoned after 7 incarnations. From the first bitter romance of Meng Jiang (who cries the Great Wall down) in the Qin Dynasty to Lotus Liu in Genghis Khan. era, it is only two thousand something years, who will have that longevity to be so faithful?
Tina Cellar would like to date you 7.5th Century. I haven't lived that long, but native ancient tree tea does. India, Ceylon, Myanmar and China have been vying for the origin of tea. As a result, Yunnan's 3200-year-old tree tea won. We are fortunate to get Pu'er green cake and loose green tea made from the harvest of 3,200-year-old tea tree in 1985, and Pu'er black tea made from the thousand-year-old tree in 2019. Wouldn't the three models add up to 7,500?
Appreciating the native wild ancient tree tea and the artificially cultivated and carved platform tea are two completely different things. The situation is a bit like a modern-style wine and an ancient natural wine made naturally. If you have tried Fiorano from Rome, Italy before the 1970s, you will understand what I am talking about. The “Qi” of ancient tree tea is immediately felt after tasting 3 infusions. Those who practise Vipassana must feel it.
