錫蘭紅茶
楊惟婷
【起源 】
「錫蘭紅茶」是對產自有綠色伊甸園之稱的斯里蘭卡紅茶的統稱。
「錫蘭」即為今日的「斯里蘭卡」，位於印度半島南部，原名語意為「光明富饒的樂土」、「充滿驚喜之地」。
「錫蘭王國」於1972 年更改國名，是世界著名的紅茶產地。錫蘭高地茶主要有烏沃茶（Uva）、汀布拉茶（Dimbulla）和努沃勒埃利耶茶。其中以烏沃茶是世界四大紅茶之一。
錫蘭紅茶始於1865年，在此之前錫蘭境內並無種植紅茶。
當時，因咖啡鏽蝕病的感染造成整個國家所種植的咖啡樹幾乎死亡，而後英國人James Taylor自中國引進紅茶茶樹，才正式開啟了紅茶在錫蘭的歷史，甚至對現今斯里蘭卡的經濟佔有一席之地。
現在，鍚蘭紅茶其總產量是世界第二位，成為斯里蘭卡一項重要的經濟支柱，故當地人將紅茶視為「綠色黃金」。
【產區概況】
斯里蘭卡是位於印度洋中的島國。
位於其國內中央山地中心位置的努瓦拉艾利雅（Nuwara Eliya），意為「光明之城」，海拔1889公尺，是斯里蘭卡最重要的紅茶產地與集散地。此地處熱帶，夏季平均氣溫約35度、冬季的平均氣溫30度，但因有高海拔的中央山脈，形成許多適合茶葉生長的丘陵與高山地形，斯里蘭卡的茶葉產區也就圍繞著中央山脈。
山嶽地帶的東側常年雲霧彌漫，由於冬季吹送的東北季風帶來較多的雨量（11月～次年2月），不利茶園生產，所以以7～9月收獲的茶品質最優。其中，以烏沃茶最著名。
西側則因為受到夏季（5—8月）西南季風帶來較多的雨量的影響，不利茶園生產，所以以1～3月收獲的茶品質最優。其中，以汀布拉茶和努沃勒埃利耶茶最著名。
百年來，斯里蘭卡境內已形成六個主要紅茶產區，六大產區因氣候、地形的不同，各自形成不同的特色。分別為烏沃、烏達普沙拉瓦、努瓦納愛利、盧哈納、坎迪、迪布拉等。
錫蘭紅茶因產區、季節與海拔高度的不同，其風味可謂變化萬千，其中，以烏沃所產的茶最具知名度，與中國祁門紅茶，印度的阿薩姆紅茶，以及大吉嶺紅茶有世界四大名茶之稱。
【製造方法】
斯里蘭卡的茶仍完全由手工採摘。由於空氣潔凈，為世上唯一不經清洗直接進入晾曬程序的紅茶。
高地茶又分為早茶(取茶尖上端葉子，味道略苦)和下午茶(取下端葉子，味道清淡)。
剛收回來的錫蘭紅茶茶菁，須置放通風處24小時，翻翻茶葉，隔開露水。但現在以吹風機代勞，縮短烘乾時間。然後經過轉動，讓茶葉捲起來、再經篩選(茶葉大小分級)、發酵(約三小時)，就可包裝外銷了，整個過程最快約需36小時。
由於生長在溫暖及潮濕的丘陵地帶及平原上，茶樹每7至8日都會長出新葉，而採茶的活動全年都可以進行，而其中在東部地方於7月下旬至8月下旬採摘，及在西部地區於2月上旬至3月中旬採摘的茶葉則選定為最上乘的茶葉。
錫蘭紅茶依摘採部位、生產成茶後經機器篩選，依大小或其外觀制定名稱，但名稱與茶葉品質無直接關係。茶葉分類主要循著二大類細分，其一為James Taylor最初所製全葉茶系統，另一則逐趨勢所需的碎葉茶系統。
錫蘭紅茶依其茶葉採摘和篩選過程，可區分出四種不同等級，分別為OP、FOP、BOP、BOPF等。
1、OP為最基礎級，指的是茶色呈現橙黃色的完整茶葉；
2、BOP(Broken Orange Pekoe)則是切碎的OP茶葉，最適合一般人用來沖泡的散茶；
3、FOP （Flowery Orange Pekoe)指的是採摘前端新長出仍捲成條狀之嫩葉部分製成的，為最高級的紅茶；
4、至於BOPF是指切的比散茶更細碎的茶葉，亦適合沖泡奶茶。
不管是哪一種，皆具有錫蘭紅茶的特色。
香氣極為纖細優雅的錫蘭紅茶，鑑別如下：
1、 包裝上的蘭卡茶葉局（Sri lanka Tea Board）頒發的唯一註冊號（最重要一點）；
2、 真假山寨獅王標誌 ；
3、 是否有製造商網站如帝堂錫蘭紅茶斯里蘭卡網站 ；
4、 是否斯里蘭卡當地市面有該品牌在售。
【特色 】
鍚蘭紅茶不像阿薩姆紅茶那麼渾厚。是一種生長於高地的中等強度的紅茶，帶有高度的收斂性。因為它的風味鮮明、柔和又收斂，錫蘭紅茶成為討喜的下午茶選擇。
錫蘭紅茶以烏沃茶最著名，產於山嶽地帶的東側，以7－9月所獲的品質最優，是世界四大紅茶之一。
湯色橙紅明亮，上品茶的湯面有金黃色的光環，猶如加冕一般；其風味特徵是濃烈、香醇、渾厚，透出如薄荷、鈴蘭的芳香；雖較苦澀，但回味甘甜；最適合加入奶精沖泡成奶茶，因此常被拿來當早餐茶。
而努瓦納愛利位於高山，所產的茶自然屬於高山茶，茶味較為清淡，多以純茶飲用；坎迪茶生長於中海拔地區，口感鮮明，但較不及於烏瓦茶，卻能與濃濃奶香產生恰到好處的滋味。
【錫蘭紅茶沖泡方法】
沖泡錫蘭紅茶時必須以滾燙的（100℃）熱水，才能將其香味自茶葉中完全散發出來。因為紅茶香味屬水溶性，水溫越高溫，越能將香味萃取出來。
若以150cc的茶壺為例，須先放入約4~5克的茶葉，然後在注入100℃的開水，靜待2~5分鐘後，即可倒出享用。
品質優異的錫蘭紅茶，沖泡後會釋放出發酵茶特有的烘焙味和淡淡花果香氣，非常適合清飲，更能感受錫蘭紅茶最原始的風味；也可依個人喜好加入糖、奶精或檸檬，又別有一番風味在心頭。
錫蘭紅茶的茶葉稍大，可以耐較長時間的浸泡以得到味道更強的茶汁，可品嚐感受錫蘭紅茶迴盪於口中的愉悅氣氛，絕對是您悠閒午後的最佳選擇！

Hi there, You have done an incredible job. I will certainly digg it and personally recommend to my friends. I’m confident they will be benefited from this site.
I mastered more new stuff on this weight-loss issue. One issue is that good nutrition is especially vital if dieting. A massive reduction in fast foods, sugary ingredients, fried foods, sweet foods, pork, and white colored flour products could be necessary. Retaining wastes organisms, and wastes may prevent aims for losing weight. While certain drugs momentarily solve the matter, the unpleasant side effects will not be worth it, plus they never give more than a short lived solution. It is a known incontrovertible fact that 95 of fad diets fail. Thank you for sharing your ideas on this web site.
I have realized that in video cameras, special sensors help to {focus|concentrate|maintain focus|target|a**** automatically. The particular sensors of some digital cameras change in contrast, while others make use of a beam of infra-red (IR) light, specially in low light. Higher specs cameras oftentimes use a blend of both programs and may have Face Priority AF where the video camera can ‘See’ a face as you concentrate only upon that. Thank you for sharing your opinions on this web site.

Thanks for the thoughts you write about through this website. In addition, several young women exactly who become pregnant usually do not even make an effort to get health care insurance because they are full of fearfulness they would not qualify. Although some states right now require that insurers supply coverage no matter the pre-existing conditions. Rates on these kinds of guaranteed plans are usually larger, but when taking into consideration the high cost of medical treatment it may be the safer route to take to protect one’s financial future.

It is my belief that mesothelioma is actually the most fatal cancer. It has unusual characteristics. The more I look at it the more I am sure it does not work like a true solid tissues cancer. If mesothelioma is usually a rogue viral infection, therefore there is the probability of developing a vaccine as well as offering vaccination to asbestos open people who are at high risk of developing foreseeable future asbestos relevant malignancies. Thanks for revealing your ideas for this important ailment.

My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on various websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net.

In accordance with my observation, after a in foreclosure home is offered at a sale, it is common for that borrower to still have any remaining balance on the personal loan. There are many financial institutions who aim to have all expenses and liens paid back by the subsequent buyer. Nevertheless, depending on a number of programs, rules, and state guidelines there may be a few loans which aren’t easily solved through the transfer of lending options. Therefore, the obligation still falls on the consumer that has got his or her property foreclosed on. Many thanks for sharing your notions on this web site.
Thanks for your strategies. One thing I have noticed is the fact that banks in addition to financial institutions have in mind the spending habits of consumers plus understand that plenty of people max out there their credit cards around the breaks. They prudently take advantage of this specific fact and then start flooding the inbox and also snail-mail box using hundreds of 0 APR card offers right after the holiday season closes. Knowing that if you are like 98 of all American public, you’ll leap at the opportunity to consolidate personal credit card debt and shift balances towards 0 APR credit cards.
