Fragrance of Bailu Tea

The third solar term of Autumn – Bailu (White Dew), falls on September 8th in the Gregorian calendar this year.  After Bailu the weather turns cooler, with thicker dew drops in the early morning, condensed and accumulate into water droplets called “white dew”.

The people have this saying, "Tea in Spring is bitter, tea in Summer is  acrid; if you want to enjoy your tea, take the Bailu in Autumn".  The golden autumn season brings with it clear skies and cool weather, with light cloud and gentle breezes.  The tea tree grows more moderately, with the vapors of the night condensing into dew on the plant.  In the process, the essence of nature is distilled as the warm vapors from the atmosphere cools naturally, and is absorbed by the plant.  Therefore, Bailu tea is not as delicate as tea in Spring, that cannot be steeped as much, nor is it as dry and heavy as tea in Summer; yet there is a uniquely sweetness, mellow and luxuriant flavor.

In the embrace of the light autumn wind, practice a few rounds of Energy Bagua followed by sipping the White Dew tea and enjoy the best gifts of nature. What can be more gratifying than this?

白露茶飄香
.
秋天的第三個節氣──白露，今年在陽曆9月8日。白露以後，天氣轉涼，清晨的露水也隨之增厚，凝結成一層瑩白的水滴，故稱為「白露」。
.
民間有這麼一說：「春茶苦、夏茶澀，要好喝、秋白露。」金秋季節天高氣爽，雲淡風輕，茶樹生長緩慢，夜間水汽在茶樹上凝結成露，茶葉吸收了天地由暖變涼階段的自然力量。因此，白露茶不像春茶那樣嬌嫩、不經泡，也不像夏茶那樣乾澀，反而有一股獨特的甘醇濃厚味道。
.
在習習的秋風中，走幾圈八卦，活動活動筋骨，再品一杯白露茶，享受大自然賜予，還有什麼比這更愜意的呢？
