墨西哥茶友对紫笋茶的非凡体验

墨西哥茶友Mercedes González不仅在紫笋苑喝茶，更是随作者到过紫笋茶故乡浙江长兴顾渚山。那时上山道路还是高低不平的山道，交通工具是农村参见的手扶拖拉机，但他们还是兴致勃勃地上了顾渚山（见图8-5）。他们对紫笋茶及紫笋茶文化的感悟是深刻的，故摘录他们的文章如下。

去陈先生的茶室喝茶总是令我心生愉悦，而且每一次都能品到不一样的茶，伴随着各种不同香气和滋味。茶香四溢、水温恰到好处、店内摆设优雅、沏茶的准备工作令人赏心悦目。若想要了解中国几千年的茶文化传统，这样经历绝对不可错过。

我也曾有幸应陈先生和他的女儿凌一之邀，游览了位于浙江省长兴县的顾渚山古茶园。凌一是我相识多年的好友，正是通过她我才认识了陈先生，并有机会接触到中国茶文化。这次旅行是我第一次看见自然环境中生长的茶树，我们不仅喝了紫笋茶，还品尝了当地的食物，欣赏了周围优美的自然风光，实在是一次难忘的经历。当地人对我们非常友好。如果有机会，你们一定也要尝试一下！

It is always a pleasure to visit Mr.Chen’s tea house.Every time is a different and enjoyable experience of tea combined with a mix of the different senses；the aroma and taste of the tea at a perfect temperature，together with　the beautiful setting　and preparation for the tea degustation.This is a must while in China in order to appreciate a milenary tradition.(www.xing528.com)

I have also been invited to visit the ancient tea field in Mount Guzhu in Changxing，Zhejiang Province with Mr.Chen and his daughter，Lingyi，a very good and old friend.I came to know Mr.Chen and Chinese tea culture through her.That trip was my first time to see tea as a plant in natural environment.It was enjoyable not just for the Zisun Tea experience but also for the local food we tried and the nice natural scene w e were surrounded.People w ere always nice and friendly to us.If you can，try it once！
