Tea Tasting 03/05-03/07

Experience the unique aroma of aged tea
~ Enjoy 30 year-old Oolong and 50 year-old Black Tea ~

Taiwan tea has been well-known for its outstanding quality and superb tea-making technique. By combining excellent quality tea with the passage of time we present you with aged Tea from Taiwan, the gemstone among tea. Even after many years, the tea leaves are still soft and flexible, showing the tenacity of life. After the natural fermentation process, aged tea presents its uniqueness in several ways: the color of tea turns amber, the aroma turns solid, and its taste becomes even more sweet, smooth and mellow with an amazing aftertaste. The balanced harmony of the five flavors creates a joyous and delightful sensation.

Many experienced tea-lovers appreciate aged tea not only for its rarity but also for the transformation through time, just like appreciating the beauty of life as we relax our body and mind and experience the tranquility within ourselves.

Fang Gourmet Tea is also offering tea lovers a chance to experience Lei Cha, a well-known natural, eco-friendly, and well-being tea from Taiwan. Schools, educational, and cultural organizations are welcome to contact Fang Gourmet Tea for arrangement in a special tour in exploring the beauty of Asian tea tasting, Asian tea ware and the tranquility of Asian tea culture.

芳茗軒品茶會
茶中之寶--台灣老茶

台灣茶一向以品質優良、製茶工藝精緻而廣受好評，以此優良品質為基礎陳放的台灣老茶更是茶中之寶。老茶伴隨著時間流逝，自然發酵， 茶湯慢慢轉變為琥珀色，其茶湯香轉沉，滋味醇和柔潤、入喉餘韻盪漾，香、甜、甘、苦、澀五味協調，讓感官覺得舒暢，幾乎無刺激性，茶葉葉底仍然柔軟富彈性，展現出生命的韌性。

許多老茶友喜歡老茶，不只在好古，為的是那點由時間沉澱下來的變化，就像品味人生真、善、美, 進而讓我們心緒沉澱，身心放鬆，自然進入沈靜的境界。

品茶會現場並有受到熱烈歡迎的陶藝教室，讓各年齡的訪客繪製自己的專屬茶杯，以及自己動手作客家養身茶--擂茶。活動還備有試茶席供茶友飲茶, 也特別提供茶桌、茶具讓茶友可自己邀請三五好友現場享受泡茶、品茶的樂趣。茶友們可以依照個人的喜好參與不同的品茶活動。
