來自福鼎山丘,每年三月造訪
我們自 2017 年便與這間福鼎合作社合作,這個家族已在同一山坡上採摘 Bái Háo Yín Zhēn 達四代。茶園位於點頭鎮附近海拔約 620 公尺處,清晨濃霧自東海湧入,近午時分在稜線上消散 — 這每日的韻律正是此品種緩慢積累糖分的關鍵。
這批茶菁於 2026 年三月底的三個早晨採收,趕在春雨來臨之前。只取尚未綻放的芽頭及其護葉 — 無葉,無梗。採茶工沿等高線單列前進,使用淺籃盛裝,避免芽頭受壓變形。
此處工藝全在萎凋。芽頭置於竹篩上,在露天陽光下萎凋約 48 小時,待露水降臨才移入室內,最後再以低溫短時收乾,鎖住水分低於百分之五。沒有揉捻,沒有氧化工序,沒有殺青鍋。這份工作與其說是製作,不如說是觀看 — 茶葉的風貌,多半由採摘那一週的天氣決定。
我們直接從合作社取得這批茶,每一批次在離開福鼎前都會經過品鑑。
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.
沿蓋碗壁注水,而非直接沖淋芽頭 — 芽頭嬌嫩易傷,攪動則轉苦。
