Dialogue between Puerh Tea and Grape Wine



【普洱茶】:柏联普洱2008年和2010年景迈山生茶 【Puerh Tea】: Raw Puerh 2008&2010.Brilliant Puerh.Jing Mai Mountain 【葡萄酒】:柏联大河酒庄2005年和2010年干红葡萄酒 【Red Wine】: Red Dry 2005&2010. Château de la Rivière. Bordeaux. France



【对比方法】:正常对冲手法

【Brewing Method】: Making tea at the same time(same tea wares, same amount of tea, same brewing time)


【闻香】:两款生茶香气纯正,均显景迈特有花香,仓储较好。昆明天气干燥,自然转化较慢,08年的普洱茶和10年的普洱茶就香气浓度和持久度来说,没有明显的区别。

【Smell&Sniff】: Both raw puerh teas have sharp JingMai special floary aroma, no any other oddor smell at all. While there have few differences of intensity or length between the two due to natural storage in Kunming.


【观色】:汤色没有明显的区别,均为橙黄色、透亮,08年稍深。

【See&Sight】:Both teas have bright orange-yellow color, while 08 year's tea is a little bit stronger.


【滋味】:两款茶均具有景迈山特有的香高水柔特点,回甜停留在舌之中后段,喉韵佳,回甘尚持久。10年普洱入口涩底较重一些,但生津和回甘较08年也更足。由于每个茶友的味蕾区别,部分茶友也感觉到了夏日水果的味道,实属难得。

【Sip&Savor】: Both teas were soft and light, sweet stayed in root of tongue, and had pleasant throat feeling and lingering after-taste sweetness. While 2010 year's tea had a little bit strong astringency, and turned into better sweet and thirst quenching taste. One of our friends even tasted summer citrus flavor, which is amazing.


【叶底】: 两款茶叶底匀净度好,无花杂,嫩度较好,尚油润。从叶底来看,08年普洱茶转化则更明显。

【Brewed Leaves】: Both teas were even with slender leaves with proper tenerness. Of course, it's no hard to see that 2008 year's tea had fermented faster.


【总结】: 时间成就了普洱茶,但昆明自然储藏条件下,2年的区别不是特别明显。

【Summary】: Puerh tea turns better taste with aging years, while there are few differences between them in Kunming natural storage.


接下来,香港葡萄酒审评协会联合创办人和现任副主席欧阳佩芬女士为大家介绍葡萄酒的产区及喝酒的礼仪!与普洱茶不谋而合的是葡萄酒的品饮方式以及每一杯的曼妙变化。

After that Ms Amy Au Yeung has presented us wonderful red wine part, which is extraordinarily the same taste way as puerh tea, and we also enjoyed the subtle changes in each cup of red wine.

首先开启味蕾之旅的是2010年干红葡萄酒(侍酒顺序是由新到老,由次到优)。打开橡木塞的瞬间,此款葡萄酒则散发出浓郁的成熟(黑色)果香,进而慢慢转为婉转的(紫色)花香。相比2010年的葡萄酒,2005年的葡萄酒则像以为内敛的长者,其香气低郁、深沉、复杂、悠长,让人一时莫以名状,只顾陶醉其中。有些朋友说闻到了皮革的味道(陈年红酒的香味),有人说嗅到了肥沃土壤的气息,还有橡木香,其乐趣莫过于此。

Firstly we started with wine from 2010 year, which brought us strong fruity aroma as soon as it was opened, then later this aroma turned to slight purple flowery smell. While wine from 2005 year was more sophisticated, it came with low but last-long and complicated mystery aromas. Some one found leather, some one discovered wood, and some one explored rich earth, which we really enjoyed.


在波尔多,赤霞珠和梅洛完美地搭配,品丽珠和马尔贝克巧妙的勾勒出精致的轮廓。这一款大河庄园红酒俨然结合了西方美人的骨感和东方美人的优美,如出水芙蓉,亦或江南的小家碧玉。因为陈瓶的关系,我更青睐2005年,佛如一双温柔的手,恰到好处地抚摸着我。单宁已转化得非常柔和,喉韵舒适,回甘持久,如一位优雅的中年贵妇,风韵犹存。

It's perfect blending art in Bordeaux with cabernet sauvignon, merlot, small part of cabernet blanc and malbec. It conbines both western and eastern aestheticism, an elegant woman between a coquettish lady and pretty humber girl. Time has magically achieved the mine, I enjoyed the wine of 2005 a lot, which was exactly the right taste at that right moment, which reminded me of all the beautiful memory about France.


值得一提的是,无论是普洱茶或者葡萄酒,只有适合的仓促,才能越陈越香。欧阳女士特别提到人们追之若鹜的拉菲红酒,殊不知一瓶辗转多国多地的拉菲,因为仓储的变化和储藏不当,有可能已经失去了昂贵的品饮和收藏价值。所以,我们目前独家代理的葡萄酒,直接从法国地窖到中国仓库,也不失为品质的保障之一。

What's more, proper storage matters a lot for both grape wine and pureh tea. No matter how expensive the wine is, take wine from Chateau Lafite for example, which people take that as luxury symbol and their social position. It's normal that some bottles of Lafite have been to different countries or areas because of the transction, it may be lost its value to drink or collection. As a result, direct shipment from French wine cave to our Chinese wine cellar is conducive to gurantee its quality.


然而,普洱茶和葡萄酒的魅力又何止这些,其悠久的历史,独特的工艺,风土人情等等,道不尽,说不完。将时间浪费在美好的事物上,期待2017年的更多茶(酒)会,将为您娓娓道来,也欢迎更多茶友(红酒爱好者)加入我们,啜云南普洱结五湖良朋,品法国红酒交四海知己。

There are so much to share, and the dialogue between grape wine and puerh tea shall continue. We are expecting to meet you soon in coming events in 2017, enjoying the very moment with you all.
