茶芸 Chinese tea ceremony










台湾茶を茶芸に沿って頂きました。まず、香りを楽しみ、次に味を楽しみます。日本の茶道ほどはむずかしくはありません。茶芸も中国式と台湾式では少し違うそうです。一緒に頂いた飲茶も美味しかったです。コーヒーを飲むことが多い私ですが、お茶飲んでゆっくり過ごすのも良いものだなと思いました。

I had Taiwanese tea at a Chinese tea ceremony. At first, I enjoyed the aroma and next the flavor. The ceremony’s simpler than the Japanese tea ceremony. I heard the Chinese and the Taiwanese method are a little different. I also had some dim sum at the same time. They were delicious. I usually drink a lot of coffee, but sometimes it’s really good to spend time relaxing with a cup or glass of tea.
