The Dragon's Well 茶: April 2014
http://thedragonswell.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 4, 2014. Rou Gui Cha (premium) • 肉桂茶. After first sampling Rou Gui cha at Kkik Da Geo. I was so taken by it that I dreamed that I'd returned to the tea shop with a giant tortuous and loaded its back with as much Rou Gui cha as it could carry (it had a traditional Korean "jigae", an wooden A-frame usually used for carrying wood on your back, customized to fit its shell), then slowly lead it out the door.

鹿谷×茶葉×鹿之茶: 茶農的兩難
http://lugutea.blogspot.com/2009/03/blog-post_26.html
家鄉除了廣大的茶園以外，還有一種植物處於更引人注目的狀態，那就是檳榔樹。為了有效運用農田的經濟效益，及考量鄉村的就業人口大量外移。除了上述這兩點是大量栽種檳榔樹的原因之外，最重要的是茶葉雖然是高經濟的農作物，但是費時費工，需要茶農的細心照顧，加上合適的氣候條件，才能有好的收成。如此的良性循環，農夫願意持續投入資金，精進茶葉的品質，愛喝茶的朋友也才得以享受這清新回甘的好滋味。 所以，我想強調的是，茶農不會為了去破壞環境，而種植這種無益於水土保持的檳榔樹，更何況這是茶農們安身立命的土地。如果我能找到一個既不破壞環境，又能兼顧茶園的永續發展，那豈不是完美的解決方案嗎? 訂閱： 張貼留言 (Atom). 南投縣08/29 今晚至明晨 多雲時陰 溫度: 25 29 降雨機率: 20% (08/29 17:00發布). 明日白天 多雲 溫度: 25 32 降雨機率: 20% 明晚後天 多雲 溫度: 25 29 降雨機率: 10%.

The Dragon's Well 茶: February 2014
http://thedragonswell.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 25, 2014. A while back, I picked up Thich Nhat Hanh's "Chanting From the Heart", a guide to ceremonies and daily practices from Plum Village. Of course, my favourite part was this short gatha:. This cup of tea in my two hands,. My mind and body dwell. In the very here and now. Labels: Chanting From the Heart. Saturday, February 15, 2014.

The Dragon's Well 茶: August 2014
http://thedragonswell.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 29, 2014. Aged Old Bush, Wu Yi "Shui Xian"老歲水仙茶. After being amazed so far by every tea I've tasted from cliffs of Wuyi Mounatin, and Da Hong Pao being the very tea that first got me interested in Chinese tea, I decided to order a small amount of aged "Shui Xian", harvested from 100-year-old trees to further my figurative exploration of the mountain. Alas, a tea by another name would still taste as sweet (or bitter), so let's get brewing. Maybe it should be! Labels: Aged Old Bush. I always...

The Dragon's Well 茶: May 2014
http://thedragonswell.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 27, 2014. Cheong Seok Gol 2014, making "Gu Jeung Gu Po". Last weekend, we made our second annual trip to the Cheong Seok Gol organic tea farm to harvest and roast our own tea. This isn't even tea! This time, a monk name Ho San Sunim, known for the high-quality tea he produces at his temple joined us to help and give advice. I had a lot of fun talking to him even though I couldn't catch much of what he was saying. We somehow managed to communicate quiet well! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Insta...

The Dragon's Well 茶: March 2014
http://thedragonswell.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 31, 2014. The scent of Dian Hong. At Kkik Da Geo, last week, I asked about their red tea selection and realized that they actually have a huge variety in stock but just don't push them as much as they do their aged sheng puer and classic oolongs. Inspecting their Dian Hong, I could see no discernible difference in quality to what I had, and the aroma was equally impressive. It was even packaged in the same gold foil, which made me think it could have been from the same source. I honestly ca...

The Dragon's Well 茶: July 2014
http://thedragonswell.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 25, 2014. 110-year-old Old Dragon Horse Tong Qing Cha • 龍馬同慶老號茶. Prof Ahn, preparing old Dragon Horse (Yong Ma) Tong Qing Cha. A few days after our trip to Cheong Seok Gol. I replied, and returned to my seat. (I'd once heard him mention this tea but never thought I'd get a chance to try it! He joked. "Even Chinese people rarely get to drink a tea like this. Usually only very rich people can buy it. You must have good "in-yeon" (karmic affinity) to have the chance to drink it.". While Prof Ah...

The Dragon's Well 茶: September 2014
http://thedragonswell.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 14, 2014. Boseong Tea Garden, on a misty summer's morn. At the risk of tarnishing my credibility, I would like to point out a couple of mistakes I've made in past posts. In both cases, it was a result of my lack of good Korean skills that lead to my misinterpretation of what I was told. Through further questions and conversations, I've cleared things up. The first was with " Date Aroma Puer Tea. The second was in my description of " A Traditional Way to Brew Da Hong Pao. 2013 Yi Ho Yeon...
