木柵鐵觀音
楊惟婷
「鐵觀音」茶湯如書法美學般優雅自在、亦如漢隸般雍容華貴，對鐵觀音品茗行家，當可感受「狂草入喉有如奔雷飛鴻、飲盡風霜無關筆劃輕重」的恢宏氣勢。
【起源 】
據傳說「鐵觀音茶」原產於大陸福建安溪縣，在清朝乾隆年間由一位茶農「魏蔭」所發現，因魏氏篤信佛教，認其茶樹是觀音所賜，而所製茶色深沉重似鐵，故名為「鐵觀音」。
「木柵鐵觀音茶」是於日據時代(清光緒年間)，木柵茶業公司委請張迺妙、張迺乾二位茶師由安溪引進純種茶苗，植於現在木柵國小後山及指南山觀光茶園樟湖內。恰因這一帶山區土質與氣候環境皆與原產地安溪十分相似，使鐵觀音生長良好且品質優異，廣受消費者喜愛，而後隨著種植面積的擴增，產量也有所倍增，年產大約6萬公斤，後來台北市政府及市農會開始在此地建造觀光茶園，吸引大量民眾前往休憩觀光，也使得木柵鐵觀音茶的聲名得以遠播。
【製造方法】
木柵鐵觀音茶，原產於大陸福建省安溪縣，其製法與安溪鐵觀音相當類似，但經過長年下來的研發和改良，木柵鐵觀音已有不同的特色。
木柵鐵觀音一年可採收四~五次，以一心二葉的方式採摘，每季鐵觀音的採收期為十五天，尤其以春茶和冬茶的品質為最佳，
「木柵鐵觀音茶」的製造是屬半發酵茶製造法，作業流程為：
採摘(上午8點～下午5點)—室內萎凋、浪菁(萎凋時間8-12小時、浪菁4-5次)—炒菁—初揉–布包團揉、覆炒(覆炒3-5次、團揉20-30次)—文火覆乾、覆揉(團揉10-20次)—初焙—揀枝—覆焙—成品。
木柵鐵觀音屬部分發酵茶，在製茶過程中最具特色的是茶葉初揉未足乾時，用方形布塊包裹，再用手在布包外輕輕轉動揉捻，而後放入焙龍用「文火」慢慢烘焙，使茶葉外型成圓曲緊結，反覆幾次後，便能使木柵鐵觀音具有特殊香味。
鐵觀音茶之布包團揉技術源自於大陸安溪，因安溪屬山區交通不便，茶農為減少茶葉體積，方便運送茶葉到市集而稍加布包團揉。
木柵鐵觀音茶之所以能流傳久遠，關鍵就再這裡有百分之九十五戶人家都姓張，每戶至少三至四代同堂，大家族揉合傳統茶藝與時代潮流，形成特殊茶香社區。
木柵鐵觀音，因近年來，茶農經不斷研究改良及受茶葉比賽、消費者嗜好的影響，所製造的鐵觀音外觀已超越大陸甚多，其形狀粒粒如豆、茶面油亮，擲入杯中，發出叮叮之聲，可謂實至名歸之「鐵觀音」。
鐵觀音茶種天生貴氣，栽種的土壤既不能肥也不得貧瘠，枝條斜生，產量少情況下，生產成本自然倍增。
製作與烘焙過程，更講求精緻與高超的技藝，任何一道手續都省不得。別的不說，光是一次得花費一、兩個鐘頭篩檢廿斤茶菁，使茶葉茶骨分離的持久耐力，就會讓一般人搖的手酸腳麻。再加上烘焙火候不得有任何疏忽，否則前功盡棄。
【產區概況】
目前種植於台北市文山區的木柵指南山到貓空一帶，同一產區的還有四季春、武夷、梅占、金萱等。
【特色 】
鐵觀音茶未經焙火或輕焙之鐵觀音茶湯呈黃至橙紅色，中焙火至重焙火的之鐵觀音湯色則呈橙紅至棕紅色，茶湯色澤明亮見杯底，杯面則有油亮的感覺。
口感濃郁而甘醇，略帶純和的弱果酸味，飲入後芬芳香氣持久不散，且回甘於喉，讓人欲罷不能。
鐵觀音在半發酵茶類當中屬於發酵空間較大的一種茶，由15%至50%均有人製造，所以香氣也由淡淡的花香、蜜香至濃濃的花果香、熟果香…不等。鐵觀音的香氣不只是由於發酵程度的不同而有變化，如地質、季節、布包團揉、烘焙也都是影響觀鐵音茶香氣之要因，所以欣賞鐵觀音之茶香，極富變化而不庸俗，其「熱香」至「冷香」、「粘杯香」真是耐人尋味。
另外，由於鐵觀音茶樹生長形態，橫張枝、折皺面，異於一般茶樹，所以產量不高。因葉多向陽，造成茶單寧等成份均高，葉面也較厚實。所以鐵觀音之沖泡，置茶量宜少不宜多，倒茶宜快不宜慢。壺以紫砂較適合；水溫第一道以沸水沖泡，第二至五道80至90度即可。
初嚐鐵觀音者，大多認為苦澀味較其他茶重，如果你用舌面與上顎接觸，你會發現有一層厚厚的茶汁在口中。而後再喝一小杯溫開水，就能感覺鐵觀音茶湯之美。有人說：鐵觀音是男人的茶，如果把鐵觀音等涼以後，再喝半口含於嘴裡，讓茶湯溫熱，你便能感受鐵觀音茶的剛強凌烈及醇正的茶香。

It is indeed my belief that mesothelioma is actually the most fatal cancer. It’s got unusual qualities. The more I actually look at it the more I am certain it does not react like a real solid flesh cancer. In case mesothelioma is often a rogue virus-like infection, in that case there is the chance of developing a vaccine and also offering vaccination for asbestos subjected people who are vulnerable to high risk involving developing long run asbestos related malignancies. Thanks for expressing your ideas for this important health issue.

I think that a home foreclosure can have a major effect on the client’s life. Mortgage foreclosures can have a Several to 10 years negative influence on a client’s credit report. A borrower who has applied for a home loan or almost any loans even, knows that your worse credit rating is definitely, the more tricky it is for any decent financial loan. In addition, it might affect any borrower’s power to find a good place to lease or rent, if that gets the alternative property solution. Thanks for your blog post.
Admiring the dedication you put into your site and in depth information you present. It’s nice to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same old rehashed information. Great read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.
Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
