今天的果皮 明天的黃金

姑父很疼我。知我愛茶，每次回鄕都掂記著帶些好貨給我。他尤愛桔普。即那些藏普洱茶葉在桔皮中的東西。嚐了一次，不敢恭維；因為桔子不是新會柑，茶葉是人工化學品催熟的普洱，充斥著阿摩尼亞味。每見此物，敬而遠之。

美食團這差使不易為；吹毛求疵者有之、遲到早退者有之、未算舟車行李出入境一切煩鎖吃力不討好的腌臢活；我還是愛玩，皆因天生是吃貨。

上周末又帶團，采集人原始的本能作崇，不買不買還得買，回程登車前在候車室的小店中，眼角一瞥有東甲青柑的產品，精神一振。

要知道正宗的新會陳皮猶如勃艮第葡萄酒。不同産區、不同風格，即使是一箭之遙，氣味原完不同。最上品的產區是圍繞著新會熊子塔五條村；分別是東甲丶西甲丶梅江丶天馬和茶坑。這五村地位，等同波爾多上梅鐸一級的五大莊。

我瞥見的是一罐柑普。下意識抗拒。但市面真正新會東甲陳皮難求。趁還有20分鐘開車，要求店員開罐讓我聞香。內蓋還未打開，一股高貴清雅的果皮香撲面而來，開了內蓋，是個別獨立真空包裝的錫封。䣓著包裝都嗅得出是真貨。比我2017年收的東甲青皮還要好。氣味比么鳯最貴的陳皮梅還要香。發揮港女精練的本色，也要求聞其他村出產的柑普。果然西甲是西甲，梅江是梅江，都是真貨。二話不説，肯定要東甲，即使它最昂貴。

到家行李也不收拾，馬上開封沏茶。喜出望外的普洱是春尖金芽，五年勐海布朗山大葉種。即使是熟茶也喝得出很天然。

喝了兩泡柑普，連日奔波積滯引致的脅下隱痛，也因果皮消食疏肝解郁的功能而消失。

也許天道酬傻，給我找到好貨。好東西該傳諸同好。趁著這好年份，別猶豫了，快入貨！這樣上好的東甲，陳上八年誰保証價錢會怎樣長？

Blessing For the Silly

How to turn tutti fruity into gold.

My uncle spoils me. He always buys me tea when he pays visit to his home town. Once he bought me Puer Tea stuffed in tangerine peel. Aged Mandarin peel and Puer tea are supposed to be good for digestion. I tasted it and hated it because both tea and peel were not authentic. Since then, I try to avoid this type of product.

Leading wine and dine tour is not easy. I might come across difficult tour mates, not to mention trivial chores like transportation, luggage, immigration and customs. These may get me on my nerve. I still enjoy doing cause I am a foodie.

Last weekend I organized one to Foshan. The basic instinct of a gatherer push me to shop again though I know I have more than enough materials for the rest of my life. While waiting for the returning train, I glimpsed at a small store in the train station and found a product with the name of the top appellation of Mandarin Peel : Dong Jia. It turned me on .

Top Mandarin Peel is from Xin Hui county in Guangdong. It has healing effect for indigestion and strengthening liver. Top Mandarin Peel is like burgundy wine. Its style varies from different villages though they are very close to each another. The best appellations are surrounding the Nizi Pagoda: Dong Jia, Xi Jia, Mei Jiang, Tian Ma and Cha Keng. Position of these 5 villages is like the 5 First Growth of Haut Medoc Grand Cru Classe.

The product I glimpsed was Puer tea stuffed in Mandarin Peel, I refused it subconsciously. However, it is rare to come across authentic Xin Hui DongJia on the market. I made use of the last 20 minutes before the train left, I demanded the shopkeeper to open the lid of the can and let me smell.

Before the inner lid was opened, I smelt a very elegant and refined aroma punching on my face. When the inner lid was opened, I saw individual vacuum-packed sachet. I could smell authentic Dong Jia without tearing off the sachet. It smelt even better than the 2017 Dong Jia I collected. After comparing similar products from other villages, I decided to take the Dong Jia though it was the most expensive.

Once I arrived home, I brewed it immediately. I was surprised that the Puer tea was 5 year old first flush of the Bu Lang Mountain. Very naturally made.

The healing effect was remarkable. After two doses, the pain I felt around my arm pit was gone. This was caused by fatigue and overate.

Perhaps Lady Fortuna kisses silly. Goodies are meant to be shared. Be quick and take this exceptional vintage. Who guarantees how the price appreciates in 8 years when the Mandarin peel matured?
