茉莉花茶 Jasmine Tea

福建福州，茉莉花茶的故乡。清晨薄雾，青翠的茶园里，小小少年正和长辈们一起采茶青。采完茶，少年再欢快地骑着车前去上学。这便是傅天龙对幼时生活的记忆。出生在茉莉花茶世家，他从小与茶为伴，拥有一手祖传的茶制作技艺。

“沏一杯茉莉香片，外加几朵杭菊。”在每日晨起，傅天龙习惯了这一杯“早茶”，望着泛着淡淡香槟金色的茶汤，再入口，花香透入茶骨，馥郁香气从喉底向口腔扩展，仿佛醉卧在茉莉花海。“正因如此，我想把这‘美好滋味’带给更多人。”

30年来，作为福州茉莉花茶传统工艺传承大师、春伦集团董事长，带着这份“初心”，傅天龙始终致力于福州茉莉花茶产业的复兴和民族品牌的打造，依靠创新驱动，创造中国茶生活新方式，让茶文化走向世界。

又是一年初夏时，在法国的米其林三星餐厅、阿玛尼咖啡店……“来一杯茉莉花茶”的法语点单陆陆续续，来自福州春伦的茉莉花茶已深深融入了法国人的日常生活。

“除了法国外，春伦的茉莉花茶还走入俄罗斯、日本等数十个国家，并在美国设立展示中心，让历史悠久的‘福茶’更大步走出国门，走向世界。”傅天龙说。

今年年初，福建省侨联联合全省知名茶企，对接联系海外侨社团、海外侨胞、侨商，开展“福茶海外四进”活动，推动“福茶”进一步融进海外家庭、进餐厅、进会馆、进社（街）区，并分批次在这些场所设立“福茶驿站”或茶空间，以“福茶”为纽带，向世界开展茶文化交流的公益性平台。

而作为“福茶海外四进”活动的首批参与者，傅天龙表示，随着“福茶驿站”深入开展，越来越多的国际友人对茉莉花茶赞不绝口，念念不忘。当前，福建是海外侨胞的主要祖籍地之一，侨的资源优势明显。资料显示，旅居世界各地的闽籍华侨华人近1600万人，分布在188个国家和地区，而闽籍海外社团达2000多个。这些侨胞和社团为“福茶”走进“国际人家”提供了有利条件。

傅天龙表示，下一步将加快建设以茉莉花茶为主题的世界茶文化交流港，不但将用于中西茶文化的交流展示，还将成为福州茉莉花茶走向全世界的新平台。

与此同时，世界各国，海外侨胞们化身“福茶”代言人，让“福茶”加快融进海外家庭、餐厅、会馆、社（街）区……

在加拿大安大略省的亚裔文化月里，旅居多伦多十余年的加拿大福建华联总会主席郑棋飞一直致力于推介福州茉莉花茶，让茉莉花茶在当地广受欢迎。

在塞浦路斯华人之家协会，会长华凌组织的“中式”下午茶，成为和塞浦路斯各界人士进行文化交流、培养感情的重要平台。

在中亚地区，吉尔吉斯斯坦中亚福建总商会会长林金电义务教习茶文化11年，当地人民从泡茶要放糖，到如今已逐渐能够品出铁观音、大红袍、白茶的味道了。

一片茶叶，架起友谊桥梁，让各国人民可以因茶相交，和而不同。“福茶”一泡，茶汤入杯，茶香四溢，这是专属于福建人的“一杯情深”。

一杯世界“福茶”

“你们品一下，安溪铁观音冲泡后，会有红茶的甘醇、绿茶的清香，滋味纯浓，香气馥郁持久，独具‘观音韵’，所以有‘七泡有余香’的美誉。”端起一杯泡好的“福茶”，洪承琛笑意满满，“口感不错吧？”

其实，这一连串的“福茶经”，洪承琛已记不清自己“唱”了多少遍。作为新西兰茶文化中心主席，他爱家乡，也爱家乡的茶。自2003年旅居新西兰，他便一心促进东西方文化交流。不但牵头促成了福建多地与新西兰缔结友好关系，而且积极为其间举办的各种文化、旅游、经贸和民间往来活动牵线搭桥。

前不久，在由福建省侨联主办的以“福润五洲、茶和天下”为主题的全球“福茶驿站”启动暨授牌仪式上，洪承琛作为海外“福茶驿站”特约合作单位的代表发言。“闽茶是有福之茶，具有独特的‘福文化’，希望能与更多茶企合作，以文化交流和市场营销相结合的多种形式，让更多的海外民众喝到福建茶，更好地品鉴和了解中国‘福茶’文化。”

如洪承琛一样振奋的，还有福建省供销茶业有限公司总经理黄忠飞。不久前，首家供销福茶社在福州上下杭盛大揭幕，带着国潮风、怀旧风、多元风的店态，以供销情怀巧妙融合到上下杭里老福州的历史文脉中，表达着富有时代特色的“福”文化。

“我们将积极融入‘福茶驿站’中，努力为世界推送好茶、健康茶，与海外茶界朋友进行交流合作，把‘福茶’名片推向全球。”黄忠飞说。

一杯文化“福茶”

“‘福茶驿站’的启动只是一个探索，省侨联要以‘侨’为‘桥’，以茶为媒，携手海内外合作单位，向海外讲好福建茶文化、福建茶故事，为福建拓展海外茶市场多做努力。”全国政协委员、福建省侨联主席陈式海说。

未来，如何推进“福茶”文化建设，向世界讲好“福茶”故事？陈式海认为，时下，站在全球贸易的角度和茶文化海外传播情况来看，仍存在内部产能过剩、出口茶价格低廉、贸易量占比不高、缺乏全球知名品牌等难点问题。

对此，陈式海建议，倡导茶企重生态、重环保、重实惠和重信誉，严格质量管控，提升茶叶质量和产业竞争力，同时大力加强茶相关产品在国际市场上的宣传力度，在海外举办茶叶品鉴、茶器展示、茶道表演等茶文化交流活动，与美食、文艺演出等交流活动一起“拼船出海”，将茶文化传播辐射到五大洲，让世界更多地了解中国茶。

同时，陈式海提出，要大力提倡国民消费，宣传引导健康、时尚的茶饮风尚，培育中国茶的品质品牌形象，满足国际市场的多元化需求，并广设“中国茶庄”“茶生活馆”“茶空间”或“福茶驿站”，大力拓展国外市场，让饮茶习惯进一步融入海外家庭、餐厅、会馆和社区，让更多的海外民众喝到中国茶，形成时尚健康的“中国茶饮”生活方式。

Fuzhou, Fujian, the hometown of jasmine tea. In the misty morning, in the green tea garden, a young boy is picking tea greens with his elders. After picking the tea, the boy happily rode his bike to go to school. This is Fu Tianlong's memory of his childhood. Born in a family of jasmine tea, he has been with tea since childhood and has the first-hand ancestral tea making skills.

"Make a cup of jasmine fragrant slices, plus a few chrysanthemums." Every morning, Fu Tianlong got used to this cup of "morning tea", looking at the tea soup with a touch of champagne gold, and then entering the mouth, the floral fragrance penetrated into the tea bones, and the fragrance was fragrant. It expands from the bottom of the throat to the mouth, as if drunk in a sea of jasmine flowers. "Because of this, I want to bring this 'good taste' to more people."

Over the past 30 years, as a master of traditional craftsmanship of Fuzhou jasmine tea and chairman of Chunlun Group, with this "original intention", Fu Tianlong has always been committed to the revival of Fuzhou jasmine tea industry and the building of a national brand, relying on innovation to create Chinese tea. A new way of life, let tea culture go to the world.

In the early summer of another year, French orders for "Cake a cup of jasmine tea" at Michelin three-star restaurants and Armani coffee shops in France continued one after another. The jasmine tea from Chunlun, Fuzhou, has been deeply integrated into the daily life of French people. .

"In addition to France, Chunlun's jasmine tea has also entered dozens of countries such as Russia and Japan, and has set up an exhibition center in the United States, so that the time-honored 'Fu Tea' can go abroad and go global." Fu Tianlong said.

At the beginning of this year, Fujian Provincial Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, together with well-known tea companies in the province, contacted overseas Chinese associations, overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese businessmen, and launched the "Four Tea Overseas Promotion" activities to promote the further integration of "Fu Tea" into overseas families, restaurants, guild halls, Enter the community (street) area, and set up "Fu Tea Stations" or tea spaces in these places in batches, and use "Fu Tea" as a link to carry out a public welfare platform for tea culture exchanges to the world.

As the first batch of participants of the "Four Tea Overseas Promotion" event, Fu Tianlong said that with the in-depth development of the "Fu Tea Station", more and more international friends are full of praise for jasmine tea and will never forget it. At present, Fujian is one of the main ancestral places of overseas Chinese, and overseas Chinese have obvious resource advantages. Statistics show that there are nearly 16 million overseas Chinese of Fujian nationality living around the world, distributed in 188 countries and regions, and there are more than 2,000 overseas associations of Fujian nationality. These overseas Chinese and associations have provided favorable conditions for "Fu Cha" to enter the "international family".

Fu Tianlong said that the next step will be to speed up the construction of a world tea culture exchange port with the theme of jasmine tea.

At the same time, overseas Chinese from all over the world have become the spokespersons of "Fu Tea", so that "Fu Tea" can be quickly integrated into overseas families, restaurants, clubhouses, community (street) districts...

During the Asian Culture Month in Ontario, Canada, Zheng Qifei, chairman of the Canadian Fujian Hualian Federation, who has lived in Toronto for more than ten years, has been committed to promoting Fuzhou jasmine tea, making jasmine tea popular locally.

In the Cyprus Chinese Home Association, the "Chinese" afternoon tea organized by President Hua Ling has become an important platform for cultural exchanges and cultivating feelings with people from all walks of life in Cyprus.

In Central Asia, Lin Jindian, President of the Central Asia Fujian General Chamber of Commerce in Kyrgyzstan, has been obliged to teach tea culture for 11 years. The local people have gradually been able to taste the taste of Tieguanyin, Dahongpao, and white tea from making tea with sugar. .

A piece of tea sets up a bridge of friendship, so that people of all countries can meet and be different because of tea. Once the "Fu Tea" is brewed, the tea soup is poured into the cup, and the fragrance of the tea is overflowing.

A cup of world "blessing tea"

"Take a taste of it. After brewing Anxi Tieguanyin, there will be the glycol of black tea and the fragrance of green tea. The taste is pure and strong, and the aroma is fragrant and lasting. Holding up a cup of brewed "Fu Tea", Hong Chengchen was full of smiles, "Does it taste good?"

In fact, Hong Chengchen couldn't remember how many times he "sang" this series of "Blessing Tea Sutras". As the chairman of the New Zealand Tea Culture Center, he loves his hometown and the tea in his hometown. Since living in New Zealand in 2003, he has devoted himself to promoting cultural exchanges between East and West. Not only took the lead in promoting the establishment of friendly relations between Fujian and New Zealand, but also actively matched various cultural, tourism, economic and trade and non-governmental activities held between them.

Not long ago, at the launching and awarding ceremony of the global "Fu Tea Station" with the theme of "Furun Five Continents, Tea and the World" sponsored by the Fujian Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, Hong Chengchen spoke as a representative of the special cooperation unit of the overseas "Fu Tea Station". "Fujian tea is a blessed tea with a unique 'blessing culture'. We hope to cooperate with more tea companies, and let more overseas people drink Fujian tea through various forms of cultural exchange and marketing. Good tasting and understanding of Chinese 'Fu Cha' culture."

Excited like Hong Chengchen, there is also Huang Zhongfei, general manager of Fujian Supply and Marketing Tea Industry Co., Ltd. Not long ago, the first Fuzhou Tea House for Supply and Marketing was grandly unveiled in Shangxiahang, Fuzhou. With the store style of national trend, nostalgia and diversity, the supply and marketing feelings were subtly integrated into the historical context of the old Fuzhou in Shangxiahangli, expressing richness. "Fu" culture with the characteristics of the times.

"We will actively integrate into the 'Fu Tea Station', strive to promote good tea and healthy tea to the world, communicate and cooperate with overseas tea friends, and promote the 'Fu Tea' business card to the world." Huang Zhongfei said.

A cup of cultural "blessing tea"

"The launch of 'Fu Tea Station' is just an exploration. The Provincial Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese should use 'Overseas Chinese' as a 'bridge' and tea as a medium, and join hands with domestic and overseas cooperation units to tell overseas Fujian tea culture and Fujian tea stories, and expand overseas for Fujian. Make more efforts in the tea market," said Chen Shihai, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of the Fujian Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese.

In the future, how to promote the construction of "Fu Tea" culture and tell the story of "Fu Tea" to the world? Chen Shihai believes that nowadays, from the perspective of global trade and the overseas dissemination of tea culture, there are still difficult problems such as excess internal capacity, low export tea prices, low trade volume, and lack of world-renowned brands.

In this regard, Chen Shihai suggested that tea companies should be encouraged to focus on ecology, environmental protection, benefits and reputation, strictly control quality, improve tea quality and industrial competitiveness, and at the same time vigorously strengthen the promotion of tea-related products in the international market. Tea cultural exchange activities such as tea tasting, tea utensils display, tea ceremony performances, etc., together with exchange activities such as food and theatrical performances, "sail boats to the sea" to spread the spread of tea culture to five continents and let the world know more about Chinese tea.

At the same time, Chen Shihai proposed that it is necessary to vigorously promote national consumption, publicize and guide the healthy and fashionable tea drinking fashion, cultivate the quality brand image of Chinese tea, meet the diversified needs of the international market, and set up "Chinese tea houses" and "tea living halls". "Tea Space" or "Fu Tea Station", vigorously expand foreign markets, further integrate tea drinking habits into overseas families, restaurants, clubs and communities, let more overseas people drink Chinese tea, and form a fashionable and healthy "Chinese tea drink" lifestyle.
