What does the cost of tea leaves?

There are a lof ot kinds of tea in the world. Maybe too many.  :)

Here we are going to talk about the price of Oolong tea in Taiwan, but it also could be a helpful standard in your country, we believe it.

What does the price of tea involve in?

1. Fresh tea leaves
    (To make 600g tea leaves, it needs 3000g fresh tea leaves to be the raw materials approximately)
*Fresh tea leaves = the tea leaves tea farmers just pick up from tea trees
*Tea leaves = the tea leaves you usually could purchase in tea stores

2. Labor and works

   According to the process of making tea, it includes the steps: picking up, turning over for fermented,  

   rubbing, grinding, drying, baking, shaping, packing, and delivering.

3. Profit

   Tea farmers need money, middlemen(it could has several levels) needs money, and tea stores also need

   money.

These items are what you pay for to have a bag of tea leaves almost.
Later we could talk about how much tea leaves do cost usually.

夏茶?秋茶?

現在是夏茶  現在也是秋茶
此話怎講.....?

今年的父親節  在農民曆上剛好和立秋同一天  八月八日
立秋是指秋天的開始
早晨和夜晚都會比較涼爽  白天還是一隻秋老虎

相同的日子
在繁忙的台北大都市  溫度很高  氣候炎熱  感受到的是典型的夏天
在鹿谷茶鄉  早晚已經有明顯涼意  清晨彌漫著濃霧  是秋天來了
而在南投縣仁愛鄉2000公尺的高山上  傍晚就得要穿上大衣禦寒了........0_0"

在南投
海拔800公尺    鹿谷鄉的夏茶採收完畢  準備採收秋茶
海拔2000公尺  華岡村的秋茶已經採收完畢而且製成茶葉
是的  才是八月下旬而已
而十月中 華岡村就要開始採收冬茶了

室外溫度飆高  室內冷氣開得很大
而一位賣茶的朋友說：秋天來了............ :))

哪裡的茶比較好?

到一位認識快十年的茶農朋友家喝茶聊天當年在讀書的兩個兒子已經接下了爸爸的事業
幸福的茶農朋友開心地退休了....:)

我們三五人天南地北的聊著
杯子裏永遠斟滿的  是30年前沒賣掉的茶製成的老茶
明亮的磚紅色  飽滿圓潤  真是難得喝到的茶啊!

我問：哪裡的茶你覺得最好喝啊? 梨山還是大禹嶺? 還是....(我猜想可能越高越好........)
他答：做的好的茶  就很好喝  你們杉林溪那裡的就很好喝
我回：是喔(有點驚訝加上狐疑的語氣)
他笑說：我以前用海拔200公尺的茶  做的都比高海拔的還好........
賣茶葉的人都習慣  也喜歡說這種很誇張的話  :)

不過  還真的不是哪裡的茶一定比較好
而是做的好的茶比較好 (價格又便宜的話更好....haha)

什麼是最好喝的茶

在政大書城找食譜的時候看到一本紅茶書，書名叫做「紅茶瘋」。

從有關茶葉的書本中找資料一直是不得已的選項，因為許多關鍵性的判斷條件，每位作者都說的不一樣，感覺很像春秋戰國時代百家爭鳴的感覺。而「紅茶瘋」這本書，是日本人寫的茶葉書，多半屬於客觀的陳述自己喝茶的經驗，再加上各個茶店家的介紹，如此免去了像是非要選一個茶葉宗教來信仰的感覺。

書中有一段是談到印度人喝阿薩姆紅茶作為日常生活的一環。在印度，應該到處都有販賣一杯一杯現煮奶茶的小攤販，阿薩姆紅茶算是價位比較平易近人的紅茶，尤其茶葉是細碎的狀態時，價格就會更低，但是阿薩姆特有的的風味卻是完全不會減少。

書的照片裡，負責煮茶的是一名大約十歲的小男童，露出一口白牙對著鏡頭笑，一手熟練的舀起一瓢茶葉放到熱水壺中；煮個二、三分鐘，加入香甜的牛奶，再在兩個金屬杯中倒來倒去增加和空氣的接觸，可以讓茶葉和牛奶的香味更加融合而且濃郁香甜，一杯只要2塊盧比，每個人都可以享受的美味，遇到朋友，還可以大方的請客一下 :)  這點聽起來真是棒極了!!

現煮的阿薩姆紅茶，加上牛奶做成香甜滑順的奶茶，日常生活裡四處都能夠獲得的美味，還可以大方招待朋友，坐在一起大口喝著、痛快聊天、開懷歡笑，想來就是世界上最好喝的茶了!

ASSAM

Assam 阿薩姆紅茶
在紅茶之中，阿薩姆紅茶是滋味比較鮮明濃厚的一款，因為它的地理環境而得名，印度東北部的阿薩姆。

阿薩姆紅茶飲用的方式很多，直接沖泡飲用，是品嚐濃郁強勁的紅茶滋味最佳選擇；加入琥珀色質地純粹的冰糖，原本強勁的紅茶滋味會巧妙地轉化成令人迷戀的細緻口感；新鮮的牛奶和阿薩姆紅茶的組合，是奶茶中的極品，融合成圓潤滑順的香濃飲品；只要加入一二片薄切的檸檬，一杯清新爽口的檸檬紅茶，讓人愛不釋手。

冰涼的阿薩姆紅茶是炎炎夏日的最佳選擇，解渴去暑，身體可以明顯地感受到那特有的清涼和暢快；熱熱的阿薩姆紅茶隨時隨地都很適合喝，尤其早上有一杯阿薩姆紅茶陪伴，那一整天都會出滿令人愉快的心情。

台灣的日月潭紅茶也是阿薩姆的茶樹品種，當年日本人用心的選擇了魚池鄉來栽種阿薩姆紅茶，延續至今成為了非常受到大眾歡迎喜愛的紅茶茶品；傳統的手工採摘，保留茶葉的完整體態，細膩的發酵和揉捻技巧，讓阿薩姆紅茶的滋味香氣更細膩、深奧，有別於國外進口的阿薩姆紅茶，台灣茶農賦予了阿薩姆紅茶另一種風貌。

請喝喝看，在台灣生長的阿薩姆茶樹，所孕育出來的日月潭紅茶，阿薩姆紅茶。

 Because tea in itself represents its value authentically.

Same as all kinds of agricultural products, the quality of tea is affected by some factors, temperature, rainfall, ground, and attention from farmer. Tea trees prefer lower temperature, to be surrounded by cloud and fog, acidy soil, proper rainfall, and tea farmers' love. :) With all above specific factors, tea trees could grow up in a best environment, and tea leaves would be juicy and fragrant.

Generally, people buy tea by the origins of tea trees. We have to say that indeed origin is an obvious and effective index to reflect the price of tea these days. However, there are still some worse tea in these famous origins, and there are some quite good ones in other places naturally. The better way to find out your  favorite tea is to drink it directly.

We name our tea by its characters and properties on purpose, and wish all friends could be aware of the "true value" of tea and admire it, instead of price and origin only.
