喝安溪铁观音茶的慢时光

以慢博快，以简博繁，有舍方得。

正如蒋勋在《慢而美》里写过：”心灵上真正的荒凉来自太多的快感，就是你不断地在口味上刺激自己吃到饱，在衣物上满足，或者在居住条件上买更昂贵的房子，不断地投资赚钱，其实这种爽的感觉未必是美感，而是快感。“

有时候，美感，反而是在大家都快的时候，你慢下来了。

喝铁观音茶也是一样。

谈到“喝茶要慢”这个观念的时候，往往很多人觉得这样喝茶很浪费时间。

其实，喝茶慢的“慢”并不是指时间的速度、进度的快慢、过程的长短。

假使毫无节制、漫无目的地泡，在茶席上爱喝多长久时间就喝多长久，那当然算浪费时间，不值得被推崇；又或以为把每一个泡茶动作比平常慢三拍就可以，那也不对。

喝茶慢的“慢”代表一种细腻功夫。

即使时代多么匆忙，生活得多么急促，喝茶时还是要能够安排好时间，细心享用它，也唯有通过这样慢慢品尝，这杯茶才能为我们带来身体及精神的享受。

我们要想尝到好喝的茶滋味，就要使用合理的和不破坏茶叶的方法来冲泡。所以要悉心地了解茶叶，用精准的方法把茶泡好，还先要懂得享用茶的方法，要细细把茶喝好。

正是因为要正确、精准、细心的态度把茶喝好，因此我们有必要知道什么时候要用什么茶具，连时间都一秒一秒数过，就是为了把茶泡好，所以慢。

这种在泡茶过程中提炼出的一丝不苟的茶道精神，就是“慢”。不能把它视为多余或浪费，否则我们是没有办法安心享用它的。

如何才能做到“慢”？

预先安排好的铁观音茶会，事先安排时间、整理自身的整洁卫生，以便适合泡茶，临时性的泡茶，一定也要争取机会先簌簌口、洗洗手、清除异味与灰尘才入茶席。

对茶的尊重，也是对客人的诚心诚意和珍重。

泡茶时，倒水的动作要练习到滴水不沾桌面；

摆放各种茶具时，要轻轻的摆正，几乎不发出碰撞的声音；

奉茶时，心、眼、手的精神和感情要集中在同一个方向；

尝茶时要充分的深呼吸嗅闻茶香，把茶含在口腔里体会一番才咽下。

在有时间观念下训练出来的“慢”，不是散漫的“慢”，它包含了安溪铁观音茶人细腻周到的考虑，整个过程流畅而精细，又心神俱在地熟练操作，让人感受到茶的丰盛，生活的精致。

在“慢”中充满了激情的喝茶，我们将可从每一分、每一秒、每一香、每一味中获得更充实的内涵。

Learn the fast with the slow, make the complicated with simplicity, and you can get it.

As Jiang Xun wrote in "Slow and Beautiful": "The real desolation in the soul comes from too much pleasure, that is, you constantly stimulate yourself to eat all you can in terms of taste, satisfy yourself in clothing, or buy more expensive living conditions. own house, and constantly invest to make money, in fact, this cool feeling is not necessarily a sense of beauty, but a sense of pleasure.”

Sometimes, beauty, but when everyone is fast, you slow down.

The same goes for drinking tea.

When it comes to the concept of "drinking tea slowly", many people often feel that drinking tea in this way is a waste of time.

In fact, the "slow" of drinking tea slowly does not refer to the speed of time, the speed of progress, or the length of the process.

If you brew without restraint and aimlessly, and drink as long as you like to drink on the tea banquet, it is of course a waste of time and not worthy of praise; OK, that's not right either.

The "slow" of drinking tea slowly represents a delicate kung fu.

No matter how hurried the times are and how fast life is, we still need to be able to arrange the time when drinking tea and enjoy it carefully. Only by tasting it slowly can this cup of tea bring us physical and spiritual enjoyment.

If we want to taste good tea, we must brew it in a reasonable and non-destructive way. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully understand the tea leaves, brew the tea in a precise way, and also know how to enjoy the tea, and drink the tea carefully.

It is precisely because of the correct, precise and careful attitude to drink tea, it is necessary for us to know when to use which tea set, and even count the time every second, just to make the tea well, so it is slow.

This meticulous tea ceremony spirit extracted from the process of brewing tea is "slow". It cannot be regarded as superfluous or wasteful, otherwise we will not be able to enjoy it with peace of mind.

How can we be "slow"?

For a pre-arranged tea party, arrange the time in advance and organize your own cleanliness and hygiene so that it is suitable for tea making. For temporary tea making, you must take the opportunity to smack your mouth, wash your hands, and remove odors and dust before entering the tea party.

The respect for tea is also the sincerity and cherishing of the guests.

When making tea, the action of pouring water should be practiced until the drip does not touch the table;

When placing various tea utensils, they should be placed gently, and there is almost no sound of collision;

When serving tea, the spirit and emotions of the heart, eyes and hands should be concentrated in the same direction;

When tasting the tea, take a deep breath and smell the aroma of the tea, and put the tea in your mouth to experience it before swallowing.

The "slow" trained under the concept of time is not a sloppy "slow". It contains the delicate and thoughtful consideration of the tea person. The whole process is smooth and delicate, and the skillful operation of the mind makes people feel the richness of the tea. , the exquisiteness of life.

Drinking tea full of passion in "slow", we will be able to obtain more substantial connotation from every minute, every second, every fragrance and every taste.
