来自福鼎山丘,Chen Hui Yi 每年三月造访
Chen Hui Yi 自 2017 年便与这间福鼎合作社合作,当时她首次从广东北上,学习日光萎凋技艺,与一个已在同一山坡上采摘 Bái Háo Yín Zhēn 达四代的家族一同工作。茶园位于点头镇附近海拔约 620 公尺处,清晨浓雾自东海涌入,近午时分在棱在线消散 — 这每日的韵律,Hui Yi 认为正是此品种缓慢积累糖分的关键。
这批茶菁于 2026 年三月底的三个早晨采收,赶在春雨来临之前。只取尚未绽放的芽头及其护叶 — 无叶,无梗。采茶工沿等高线单列前进,使用浅篮盛装,避免芽头受压变形。
此处工艺全在萎凋。芽头置于竹筛上,在露天阳光下萎凋约 48 小时,待露水降临才移入室内,最后再以低温短时收干,锁住水分低于百分之五。没有揉捻,没有氧化工序,没有杀青锅。Hui Yi 形容这份工作是「观看,而非制作」 — 茶叶的风貌,多半由采摘那一周的天气决定。
我们直接从合作社取得这批茶,且 Hui Yi 在离开福鼎前,会亲身品鉴每一批量。这份样品中的五克芽头,正是从她自己在潮州茶架上存放的那只茶罐中分装而来。
The leaf, brewed
Quiet, hay-sweet, with a long cool finish.
dry leaf
Long straight buds, silver down intact — faint smell of dried hay and almond skin.
wet leaf
Buds plump to pale jade after rinse — aroma turns to wet straw and cucumber rind.
liquor
Pale champagne, slightly cloudy from bud trichomes — clears by the third steep.
aroma
Honeydew, raw oat, a thread of white flower that surfaces only above 80 °C.
taste
Soft sweetness up front, mineral middle like wet stone, a faint apricot-kernel note that builds over steeps.
finish
Cool, slightly powdery — a returning sweetness (*huígān*) at the back of the throat after thirty seconds.
Brewing
A method, not a recipe.
Method
gongfu
Ratio
5g / 100ml
Water temp
85 °C
First infusion
40s
Subsequent
6–8 steeps, adding ~15s each round; push to 90 °C from steep four.
沿盖碗壁注水,而非直接冲淋芽头 — 芽头娇嫩易伤,搅动则转苦。
