点评:I travelled to Thai Nguyen to research tea production processes and capture the personal stories and relationships to tea from local tea farmers and entrepreneurs.
Huyen did a gorgeous job at planning the itinerary to include the broadest range of perspective, from large tea cooperatives, to medium sized tea entrepreneurs, tea masters, and lastly, spending an afternoon picking tea leaves with tea farmers, and understanding their lives and working conditions.
Over two whole days, we covered the Thai Nguyen region and La Bang. As a result, I'm so much more knowledgeable about the different harvesting, drying, oxidization and fermentation techniques that draw, from the same original tea tree...an almost infinite variety of tea products like Green Tea, Oolong, and Matcha.
I believe passions don't just happen to you, they are a result of what you choose to direct your curiosity toward. I developed a true passion for tea in these two, incredibly meaningful days, and feel so inspired to continue developing myself personally and professionally in the world of tea.
Huyen is an incredibly kind and attentive tour guide, with lived experience in tea production. I could recommend no better person to take you through the incredible tea landscape of North Vietnam.
翻译:我前往泰 Nguyen,旨在考察茶叶生产流程,并了解当地茶农和企业家们与茶叶之间的个人故事及情感联系。
Huyen精心安排了行程,力求涵盖最多元的视角:从大型茶叶合作社,到中小型的茶叶企业家,再到制茶大师。最后,我们还与茶农们一同度过了一个下午,亲手采摘茶叶,从而深入了解他们的生活与工作状况。
整整两天时间……我们游览了泰 Nguyen地区以及La Bang。通过这次经历,我对各种采摘、干燥、氧化和发酵技术有了更深入的了解——这些技术能利用同一株茶树,制作出诸如绿茶、乌龙茶和抹茶等种类繁多的茶品。
我认为,热情并非凭空产生,而是源于我们主动将好奇心投向的事物。在这两天极其有意义的旅程中,我对茶产生了真挚的热爱。我深受鼓舞,决心在茶行业中继续提升自己,实现个人与职业上的成长。
Huyen是一位极其善良且细心的导游, herself拥有丰富的茶叶生产实践经验。如果要寻找一位能带领您领略越南北部迷人茶乡风光的人选,我绝对推荐她。
