Three of the eight are shown as a colour field rather than a photograph. We
hold no honest image of those leaves, and borrowing another tea's would be a
small lie told eight hundred times. The circle on each card is the tea's
liquor colour.

Water sits on a 60–100 °C axis and infusions on a 0–12 axis, so Da Hong Pao

大紅袍 Da Hong Pao
A rock tea whose luxury comes from restraint: mountain, roast, and
aftertaste.
一款岩茶,其奢華來自克制:山、焙火與回甘。
茶類 Type
岩茶 · Rock oolong
產地 Origin
Wuyi Mountains, Fujian — cliff gardens above the Nine Bend River · 福建武夷山——九曲溪畔的岩壁茶園
乾茶 Dry leaf
Dark twisted strips with roasted edges and a mineral sheen. 深色捲曲條索,帶焙火邊緣與礦物光澤。
製程 Process
Withered, bruised, oxidized, charcoal roasted, then rested until the roast settles into the leaf. 萎凋、搖青、氧化、炭焙,再靜置至焙火融入茶葉之中。
滋味 Taste
Charcoal roast laid over orchid, wet stone through the middle, and a sweetness that returns after the swallow. Wuyi calls that mineral edge yan yun, rock rhyme. 炭焙之香覆於蘭韻之上,中段透濕岩之味,嚥後回甘。武夷謂此石骨為「岩韻」。
香氣 Aroma
Wet stone, orchid, charcoal warmth. 濕石、蘭花、炭火溫暖。
沖泡 Brewing
Rinse once to wake the roast, then pour flash infusions from a small clay pot. The roast recedes with each cup and the orchid arrives around the third. 先溫潤泡一道以醒焙火,再以小紫砂壺快出湯。焙味逐道漸退,蘭香約於第三道浮現。
參數 Parameters
100°C · 7 g per 100 ml · first infusion 15 s · holds 8 infusions
適飲 Drink when
For ceremony, important guests, and conversations with gravity. 適合正式場合、重要賓客與莊重的對話。
贈禮 As a gift
VIP client, mentor, or ceremonial host gift. 適合貴賓客戶、導師或正式主人贈禮。
Longjing is clarity as a leaf: quiet, flat, luminous, and precise.
龍井是化為茶葉的清澈:安靜、扁平、明亮而精準。
茶類 Type
綠茶 · Green
產地 Origin
West Lake, Hangzhou, Zhejiang — the villages under Lion Peak · 浙江杭州西湖——獅峰腳下諸村
乾茶 Dry leaf
Flat jade leaves pressed by the palm against a warm pan. 扁平翠綠茶葉,經手掌於溫熱鍋中壓製而成。
製程 Process
Tender spring leaves are hand pan-fired to halt oxidation and preserve clarity. 嫩春茶葉經手工炒製,以停止氧化並保留清澈之感。
滋味 Taste
Toasted chestnut and sweet pea against clean spring grass. The pan-firing reads as warmth, never smoke. 炒栗與豆香,襯以春草之清冽。鍋炒之火化為暖意,而非煙氣。
香氣 Aroma
Toasted chestnut, tender greens, lake air. 烤栗香、嫩葉青香、湖畔空氣。
沖泡 Brewing
Brew in a tall glass and pour the water down the side, never onto the leaf. The flat blades stand upright before they sink; that is most of the pleasure. 以直筒玻璃杯沖泡,水沿杯壁緩注,切勿直沖茶葉。扁平茶身先立而後沉,觀之即為半數之樂。
參數 Parameters
80°C · 2 g per 100 ml · first infusion 45 s · holds 3 infusions
適飲 Drink when
A clear morning tea before work, writing, or decision. 適合工作、書寫或決策前的清晨一杯。
贈禮 As a gift
Study, career, focus, or new-beginning gift. 適合學業、事業、專注或新開始的贈禮。
A tea of patience; the luxury is in what is not forced.
一款需要耐心的茶;它的奢華在於不強求。
茶類 Type
白茶 · White
產地 Origin
Fuding and Zhenghe, northern Fujian — unopened buds only · 福建北部——福鼎與政和,僅取未展之芽
乾茶 Dry leaf
Silver down-covered buds, pale as moonlit needles. 披滿銀毫的芽頭,淡如月下銀針。
製程 Process
Young buds are picked, withered, and dried with minimal intervention. 採摘嫩芽,經萎凋與乾燥,工序極少人工干預。
滋味 Taste
Melon, hay and warm sugar, with almost no astringency and a cool sweetness that sits at the back of the mouth. 蜜瓜、乾草與糖香,幾無澀感,喉間存一縷清甜。
香氣 Aroma
Warm hay, white flower, soft honey. 溫暖乾草香、白花香、柔和蜜香。
沖泡 Brewing
Withered and dried, never rolled or fired, so the buds give up their flavour slowly. Use a glass or a gaiwan, water down the side, and allow more time than their delicacy suggests. 只萎凋、乾燥,不揉不炒,故芽針釋味極緩。宜用玻璃杯或蓋碗,水沿壁注,所需之時,較其纖弱外形為長。
參數 Parameters
85°C · 4 g per 100 ml · first infusion 45 s · holds 6 infusions
適飲 Drink when
For afternoon recovery and gentle conversation. 適合午後恢復精神與溫和的對話。
贈禮 As a gift
Family, elder, wellness, or soft blessing gift. 適合家人、長輩、養生或溫柔祝福的贈禮。
A tea that teaches the host to let aroma arrive before explanation.

產地 Origin
Anxi county, southern Fujian — terraced gardens on weathered granite · 福建南部安溪縣——花崗岩風化坡地上的梯田茶園
乾茶 Dry leaf
Rolled green pearls that unfurl into thick aromatic leaves. 捲成翠綠珠狀,沖泡後舒展成厚實的芳香茶葉。
製程 Process
Withered, shaken, partially oxidized, rolled, dried, and refined by roast. 萎凋、搖青、部分氧化、揉捻、乾燥,並以焙火精製而成。
滋味 Taste
Orchid over cream. The light qing xiang style keeps a green-stem freshness; the roasted nong xiang style turns to baked fruit. 蘭香浮於乳感之上。清香型存青梗之鮮爽,濃香型則轉為焙果之甜。
香氣 Aroma
Orchid, cream, garden air. 蘭花香、奶香、花園氣息。
沖泡 Brewing
The leaf is rolled into tight pearls, so rinse it awake and give the first infusion room to unfurl. Smell the emptied cup between pours — the fragrance changes faster than the taste. 茶身揉作緊結球狀,故須溫潤泡以醒之,首泡亦當予其舒展之地。每道之間嗅聞杯底餘香——香之轉變,快於味。
參數 Parameters
95°C · 6 g per 100 ml · first infusion 20 s · holds 7 infusions
適飲 Drink when
For welcoming a guest with fragrance before speech. 適合在言語之前,以香氣迎接賓客。
贈禮 As a gift
Hospitality, partner, or fragrant welcome gift. 適合待客、伴侶或芬芳迎賓的贈禮。
Pu'er is less a product than a record of storage, climate, and patience.
普洱與其說是產品,不如說是儲存、氣候與耐心的紀錄。
茶類 Type
黑茶(後發酵) · Dark, post-fermented
產地 Origin
Yunnan — Xishuangbanna, Lincang and Pu'er, from large-leaf trees rather than clipped bushes · 雲南——西雙版納、臨滄與普洱,取大葉種喬木,而非修剪成台之灌木
乾茶 Dry leaf
Compressed dark leaves or loose aged fragments with red-brown depth. 壓製的深色茶葉或散裝陳茶碎片,帶紅褐色深度。
製程 Process
Sun-dried maocha is compressed and aged, sometimes fermented, until time becomes flavor. 日曬毛茶經壓製與陳化,有時經發酵,直到時間化為滋味。
滋味 Taste
Ripe pu'er reads as damp wood, date and camphor. Raw pu'er begins bitter and bright and turns sweet over years. 熟普如濕木、紅棗與樟香。生普初則苦而鋒利,經年方轉甘醇。
香氣 Aroma
Old timber, date, rain on earth. 陳年木香、棗香、雨落大地的氣息。
沖泡 Brewing
Lever the cake apart along its layers so the leaves come away whole, rinse twice, then pour fast. It will hold ten infusions and taste different across them. 順茶餅層理撬開,使葉片完整脫落;洗茶兩道後快速出湯。可沖十道以上,道道不同。
參數 Parameters
100°C · 7 g per 100 ml · first infusion 10 s · holds 12 infusions
適飲 Drink when
After dinner, when time can become slower. 適合晚餐後,讓時間慢下來的時刻。
贈禮 As a gift
Elder, family continuity, or long-memory gift. 適合長輩、家族傳承或長久記憶的贈禮。
Cream, alpine flower and sugarcane. Cold and cloud slow the leaf, so the body is thick and the bitterness never arrives. 奶香、高山花香與蔗甜。高寒雲霧使茶芽生長遲緩,故湯感厚實,苦意不生。
香氣 Aroma
Alpine flower, cream, cold mist. 高山花香、奶香、冷冽霧氣。
沖泡 Brewing
Rolled pearls need room and a long first infusion. A porcelain gaiwan adds nothing of its own, which is the point — follow the fragrance as it opens over five or six pours. 球形茶需舒展之地,首泡宜久。白瓷蓋碗不奪茶味,正取其無所增益——隨五六道追其香氣層層舒展。
參數 Parameters
95°C · 6 g per 100 ml · first infusion 45 s · holds 7 infusions
適飲 Drink when
A reset between work and evening. 適合在工作與夜晚之間重新調整。
贈禮 As a gift
Personal stillness, partner, or calm reset gift. 適合個人靜心、伴侶或平靜重整的贈禮。

as finished cartons instead — the panel, the printed name, and nothing more.
None of the three appears among the eight.
Where a carton in a photograph carries a printed weight or figure, read the
