介紹台灣的茶文化

臺灣地處熱帶及亞熱帶地區，四面環海，有兩百多座山峰海拔在三千公尺以上。

獨特的地理位置、廣大的高山丘陵地形和海島型氣候，為世界最適宜茶樹生長的地帶，加上臺灣的高濕環境起霧點低，醞釀出臺灣茶品特殊的香氣、味清與潤喉等特質。
特殊的土候環境，造就了不同風味的特色茶，分布在臺灣北部、中部、南部及東部，每個地區產出的特色茶皆有獨特的香氣及口感。

Taiwan is a mountainous island with more than 200 peaks over 3,000 meters above sea level. With the unique geographical location, vast hilly terrain and moist weather, Taiwan provides a suitable environment for tea trees to grow, even the best place in the world. The environment brews special aromas and taste of tea leaves. Tea trees are planted from northern Taiwan to southern Taiwan, with different types and flavors, and they are all in high quality.

Taiwanese tea culture includes tea arts, traditional tea ceremonies, and the social aspects of tea consumption. While the most common teas consumed in Taiwan are oolongs,  but black tea and green tea are also popular. Many of the classical arts can be seen in the tea culture, such as calligraphy, flower arts, and incense arts. Most people in Taiwan drink tea, and tea serves not only as a drink, but also as a part of the culture.

The tea culture of Taiwan can be traced back to 1717, in Qing Dynasty. Native species of tea tree were found. Later, along with immigrants from China, more species were brought into the island, so did more tea production skills. For the 300 years followed by, tea became one of main export products and many countries in America and in Europe were customers.

The culture of Taiwanese tea has been going on for more than a hundred years. It's an indispensable part of local life. From adulthood to weddings, daily life to business, life of Taiwanese centers on tea. 

On public occasions, tea is usually used to receive guests. Fine tea is also one of the best choice while considering giving a present. For those who is allergic to alcohol, it's still polite to have tea in replace of wine in various banquet.

茶文化的影響

臺灣茶文化已超過百年，茶已經是在地生活不可或缺的一部份，從成年到喜宴、從生活到商業，臺灣人飲茶於生活。茶葉被視為相當正式的飲料。在公開的場合中，通常都會以茶來招待來賓；上等的茶葉也是非常好的饋贈禮品。在各種宴會中，如果因為某些原因而不能敬酒，就會改以茶代酒，也不失禮貌。

順應健康飲食的風潮，茶葉也以各種不同的形式出現在市面上。不只是茶葉飲料有相當不錯的銷售量，超越碳酸飲料，各種點心、麵包、蛋糕等也紛紛將茶葉融入食品之中，創造出新的口味。也出現料理將茶葉入菜，以健康、不膩口為號召。台灣有一最為眾人所知的小吃便是以茶葉融入滷汁再用來滷蛋，此小吃即為茶葉蛋。

近代在台灣社會流行的泡沫紅茶文化是台灣茶文化中一個新的發展，各種連鎖茶飲店紛紛成立，口味亦極為多變，其中最為人所熟知的代表性茶飲珍珠奶茶，已成為台灣的代表性食物之一。

The culture of Taiwanese tea has been going on for more than a hundred years. It's an indispensable part of local life. From adulthood to weddings, daily life to business, life of Taiwanese centers on tea.

Following the trend of healthy diet, tea has also appeared on the market in different ways. For example, tea is combined with carbonated drinks, and added into snacks, breads, cakes, etc. Even, Taiwanese bring tea into dishes to create new flavors that are usually called with a call for healthy, non-greasy taste. One of the most well-known snacks in Taiwan is tea egg.  Tea leaves are mixed with marinade(滷汁) and then used it to cook eggs.

This tea culture is deep- rooted in Taiwanese daily life. That's the reason why hand shake drinks such as bubble milk tea can be so popular in Taiwan.  And thanks to the developmemt of tea culture, more people from different countries now recognize this small island.
