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？

Zucchini Noodles (recommended by Master Jin Bodhi)
Zucchini Noodles
Zucchini or courgette is one of the most popular summer squashes from the diverse gourd family of vegetables, and is commonly found in the Amercicas and Europe. Zucchinis are available all year round and are easy to grow in a home garden. Their light, refereshing quality makes them particularly appealing during the spring and summer seasons.
Delicately Nourishing!
This squash is extremely versatile and can be consumed raw or cooked. Zucchinis have a delicate flavour and are often lightly cooked with either butter or olive oil.
The pleasing skin of golden zucchinis is rich in antioxidants including carotenes, lutein and zexanthin, which help fight signs of aging. It retains its brilliant golden-yellow colour after being cooked.
Zucchini peels are also a good source of dietary fiber and aid in reducing constipation. This common but well-loved squash has more potassium than a banana, helping the body reduce blood pressure and heart rate. Zucchinis are a good source of beta-carotene and are often included on weight-loss menus as they are low in calories and contain no saturated fats or cholesterol. When eaten during the early stages of pregnancy, the folate in zucchini is beneficial.
How to choose
Biggest is not the best, as the most flavorful zucchinis are small to medium sized, picked while the fruit is still immature and less than 8 inches in length. Zucchinis with the flowers attached are valued for their sweet flavor. The flowers are edible and can add a pretty flourish to a variety of dishes. Bitter-tasting zucchinis should be avoided as they can contain cucurbitacin, a toxin that might trigger symptoms of gastrointestinal infection.
