After yesterday's tea introduction and culture appreciation, we get to brew our own tea in the classroom today. I was information overload by the steps demonstrated by the instructor to brew a good pot of good tea. I did not know that preparing a cup of tea needs to take note of so many procedures and etiquette. Most of the tea drinks I drank in Singapore were mostly the end product of mass productions in factories and I was not exposed to such tea culture.
We went straight to Bamboola Taiwan after packing up in Pheonix Tea Farm. In there, we were exposed to bamboo products and marketing, and I was overwhelmed by the design of the boxes and sets. They may look like simple sealed blocks but without tilting at a specific angle, one could never open the box. The boxes do not come with a key but have a more complicated lock system than an ordinary lock-and-key.
Due to typhoon Soulik, we were told to stay in the hostel at night and wait for further instructions before going out of the place. We were supposed to watch an introduction video about Sitou Experimental Forest but the system hanged and so we headed back to our dorms early. Just hope that Taiwan will be blessed from this disaster with minimized casualties. Peace out.
