茶是故乡茗

Weekly Topic: There are many different ways to prepare a tea around the world. How do you usually drink yours?

中国人爱喝茶。我家也不例外。况且,我还有一个爱茶如命的老爸。

我从小学开始喝茶,并跟着老爸学习了泡好茶,选好茶。一边喝茶,一边闲聊,喝茶重在过程:烧水,洗茶具,闻香,最后才是喝茶。

 

 

去上海读大学之后开始接触咖啡并爱上咖啡。自习也好,跟朋友聊天也罢,咖啡店是不二之选。一杯拿铁一下午,是大学时代关于小资的回忆。但茶不能少。离家之前,特意打包了茶叶,茶壶和茶杯。喝茶成了我和家乡的连结,和父亲的纽带。再到后来去英国读研。英国人也喝茶。但市面上贩卖的主要是茶粉和茶包。泡茶过程也简单:烧水,丢一个茶包入杯,水开之后往杯里注满水,等三四分钟就可以喝了。读研很忙,闲暇时间我就往超市里钻。在茶叶的货架,除了基本款的红茶绿茶白茶等,还能找到一些有趣的搭配。比如红茶和巧克力碎口味,乌龙奶茶口味,巧克力薄荷口味,柠檬草口味,等等。超市的货架如宝盒一般,吸引我去探索发现。

 

 

2020年来日,很匆忙,行李从简。茶壶,茶杯,加热器,蜡烛,却无一落下。它们又一次成为了我和家乡的纽带。老爸也会时常从国内给我寄茶来,我也渐渐形成了夏天喝普洱,春秋喝白茶,冬天红茶的饮茶模式。老爸经常说,爱茶之人,至少得有一把好壶。我之前一直用的是老爸的壶,睹壶思人。两个月前,终于入手了人生第一把自己的壶。购于日本六大名窑之一的常滑市。造型颜色使用感都一级棒,要是注意保养的话,一辈子就这一把壶也就够了吧。
