铁观音下午茶

闺蜜约茶，大家不约而同地约定周末的下午。这个时间孩子已送去培训班，离下课接孩子还有一段时间；晚餐时间未到，不用忙着买菜做饭；而家务活早上都做完了。这段铁观音下午茶时光对于女人来说或许是一天中最惬意的时候，也是闺蜜难得的相聚时光。

20世纪30年代，南京西路的凯司令咖啡馆，张爱玲和她的女友炎樱经常到凯司令咖啡馆喝下午茶，她最爱里面的栗子蛋糕。张爱玲性格乖张极少朋友，但炎樱是个例外。或者就是在这一个个下午茶时光里慢慢熟络，而至成为闺蜜，舌尖的相似才引致内心的相通吧。

对于下午茶，张爱玲是内行，一个下午茶被她整成了“满汉全席”，“茶是牛酪红茶，点心是甜咸具备的西点，十分精美，连茶杯与碟箸也都是十分精美”。

下午茶源起于19世纪的维多利亚时代，因此也称维多利亚下午茶。在当时的贝德芙公爵夫人安娜女士的带动下，饮茶不仅成了英国宫廷的风尚，也风靡了整个英国上流社会，慢慢成为一种饮食文化和社交礼仪。女人们在这段时光穿上漂亮的长裙，大家喝茶聊天，社交关系慢慢建立。

《三十而已》里顾佳为了跻身太太圈，拿到太太圈里的人脉资源，花巨资买了名牌包，参加了太太们的下午茶，策划了太太圈里的高端“品水会”，终于在太太圈们拼下一席，顺利签下大单解决了丈夫公司的财务危机。

民国时期最有名的“下午茶”莫过于林徽因的“太太们的客厅”， 她吸引着当时几乎全北平的文人大师们，徐志摩、金岳霖、胡适、陈岱孙、李济、周培源、朱光潜、沈从文和萧乾都是这个“客厅”的座上宾。春风和煦的下午，暖风穿过小院，穿过“一株海棠，两株马缨花，几株丁香”照进客厅，他们读诗背文，谈文论道，文人相交不亦说乎；他们心忧天下，忧国忧民，书生意气挥斥方遒。

1937日寇铁蹄踏入北平，当时的清华、北大、南开大学南迁千里至昆明，组成西南联合大学。国难期间，他们秉承“刚毅坚卓”的校训，弦歌不辍，联大八年，走出了各个领域一个又一个的大师。

当时因为校舍不够，文法学院迁至蒙自。他们住在哥胪士洋行，“蒙自下午茶”的地点就在哥胪士洋行，联大社会学系主任陈达成为这个“下午茶”时光的主人。原清华大学的政治系教授王化成是个烹饪的高手，不仅咖啡煮得好，还能做点小点心，他做了葱油饼和水饺来配咖啡，在当时可算一绝。蒋梦麟夫妇、闻一多、朱自清、吴宓等都是“蒙自下午茶”的常客。

他们交流思想，切磋中国文史问题，品茶论道，组建“南湖诗社”，学术和思想的种子就在这座民风淳朴，环境优美的南方边陲小镇得以孕育，她包容了才华横溢的大师们和求知若渴的学子们，滋养了“自由，包容”的联大精神，宽慰了远离故土文人们的思乡之愁。

“下午茶”时光是慵懒而惬意，是我们在日复一日的繁忙中给自己找的一个心灵的憩息点，他使思想和灵魂在纷繁的岁月里得以安放,所以，有空的话，一起喝一杯吧！
