On December 11, 2011, Sunbird forum user "Autumn Colors and Autumn Fragrance" used the best Pu'er tea as an introduction on the "Sunbird" Arizona Chinese website to invite friends to enjoy tea and talk together. Nearly 30 friends attended this party, not only tasting various famous teas that are rare overseas, but also appreciating the charm of Chinese tea culture. Nearly 30 guests gathered together to talk about tea tasting, gourmet food, and all kinds of fragrant tea. Teacher Chen Pu was dressed in a Tang suit. Wonderful points about Chinese tea culture. Teacher Chen Pu's introduction at the event was very inspiring. When he introduced Dahongpao in Fujian, China, he introduced three Dahongpao mother trees in Wuyi Mountain, China. They grow on the cliffs. The water gradually seeps out from the mountain. The mountains are filled with clouds and mist, and the humidity is about 80% all year round. The sunlight in this location is also very unique. Due to the cover of the mountain, the mother trees can only shine in the morning and evening sunlight every day, and the particularly strong sunlight at noon every day is blocked. After the authentic Dahongpao is brewed, the tea soup is clear and gorgeous, with the sweetness of black tea and the fragrance of green tea. Because of its strong fragrance, the aftertaste remains after brewing five or six times, so it is the first choice for Kung Fu tea. Teacher Chen Pu brought the fourth generation Dahongpao for guests to enjoy tea. After hearing the introduction, the guests stood up and asked to taste it. The staff picked up the teapot and poured tea for everyone. Everyone tasted it with great enthusiasm. As a result, Niu Niuhu, who was responsible for pouring the tea, walked into the room with a teapot and told everyone that the "Dahongpao" was finally brewed. Only then did the guests realize that they had been teased. The tea they were enjoying was not "Da Hong Pao" but "Huangshan Maofeng". Everyone quickly drank the tea in their hands and brought the teacups to them. Huang Guangli (right), Wu Zhaoxian (left) and his wife gave wonderful performances. Huang Guangli, a doctor of piano performance from ASU, and his wife Wu Zhaoxian played Bach's "French Suite No. 2" and Frank Bauer's "Presentative, Complementary and Variations" for everyone during the lecture. Teacher Huang's slender and brisk performance brought everyone back to the European courts of the 17th century. At that time, only kings and nobles could enjoy such light and elegant piano music while tasting tea from China thousands of miles away. Guzheng artist He Ludi brought everyone a different style of famous guzheng song "Dongting New Song". While tasting the Maofeng of Huangshan Mountain, the graceful sound of the piano seemed to make everyone see the waves of the thousands-mile Dongting, and they felt sincerely joyful. The graceful performance of guzheng artist He Ludi. As a senior stamp collector, Mr. Dai Dingguo interprets tea culture - stamps from another perspective. He spoke in a simple and easy-to-understand manner without losing interest. Everyone gained knowledge while relaxing. Mr. Dai Dingguo shared the story of tea and stamps. Three hours of happy time passed quickly. I tasted "Anji White Tea", "Huangshan Maofeng", "Biluochun", "Tieguanyin", "Pu'er", "Dahongpao" and "Jasmine". I also enjoyed exquisite Chinese and Western classic music. What a feast for hearing, taste and vision. Participants commented on the Qiuxiang Afternoon Tea: "We have been in Phoenix for 20 years, and we have finally waited for this tea party." Participants commented on the Sunbird website: "Every time I go out to eat or run errands, I have to check the Sunbird Yellow Pages first, and life has become much more convenient." For such an evaluation, no matter how hard we work, it is worth it. This event is co-organized by the Sunbird Chinese Community Network and the Alberta Times. We also received help from New Oriental Art School in providing the venue, which we would like to express our gratitude to.
