jo真是蠻有創意的...haha..這茶應該會紅吧 XD

在印度看到的茶價位，剛好跟台灣相反：Taj Mahal, Dilmah還有另一種很常見的茶包..(忘了名字) 在那裡便宜的要死，在微風廣場超市頓時變成高級品（紅茶只要冠上「英國」或「印度」身價就水漲船高），Twings的茶比前面這幾種茶的價位偏高一些是真的，但是跟跑到台灣來賣的$$比起來，真是小見大巫阿。

「哪裡可以買到你們最好的茶葉啊？」我一直覺得在印度那些同事跟朋友一定會有答案，因為他們每天喝茶阿，當然會知道哪裡買好茶。

問了好幾個人，從公司的manager到烹飪技術超讚的印度家人，聽到這個問題都想很久，「不知道耶，我回去看看好了。」

後來才知道，每天都喝茶的印度人，煮茶也很少用tea leaves，都用市場買來的便宜茶渣（tea dust）加上一些自己磨的spices煮chai，便宜的茶渣不登大雅之堂，看起來配不上昂貴茶器，但是從我喝過第一杯chai之後，對那些所謂是orange pekoe的散茶就興趣缺缺了，舌頭味蕾都給chai給寵壞啦，即便是路邊買的一杯2 rupees的茶，都勝過上好的春摘大吉嶺。

說太多啦，下面這堆散茶也是今年瞎拼回來的，因為最近實在太懶，所以茶包快喝完了，這堆茶葉都還躺在這裡過去年的冬天 :p

Moonson huh?! I do have a vivid impression of Chenna's moonson (around Sept~Nov.) Painful but very fun experience like this:

一直覺得歇腳亭一類的茶連鎖店應該引進Masala tea的香料...它的香味和口味真是很特別
總喜歡周末睡傲自然醒後 煮一大壺masala tea, 跟家人享受早餐和香濃的茶~

上面那幅圖是Steve畫的喔?
真是很有天份呢
充分把在水中進退不得的窘境和被獅子大開口的司機表現的淋漓盡致阿! 我也是有深刻體驗的~有一次, 半夜回家, 經過大雨後的淹水地帶, 我們親愛的Auto就這樣給拋錨在水中央....
真難想像孟買無家可歸的人數已超過臺灣的公民數!
每天要涉過黃色髒水的生活真是可怕阿...
希望接下來不要有傳染病...不然後果真是不可想像...
btw, just a thought...
其實印度精緻的香是很有賣點的...
Auroville的手工香早就出口到歐洲了...加上漂亮的包裝,　像是生活工場一類的地方應該可以賣個好價錢呢~

那張是我亂畫的拉...

Jo你說的是線香嗎？上次去墾丁大街看到有人一盒賣一百多塊咧（那種紙盒包裝只有幾支香的），真是暴利阿。只不過可能要推個線香療法什麼的，不然台灣人沒事可能不會在家裡點香吧..

路上的印度拉茶真是作得一點都不像原來的味道，不是加太多冰塊就是太「台」了，哈哈 ，台北印度餐廳也從來沒喝過合格的chai，奇怪，這東西是一定要配上那髒髒小小的杯子還有火車上小販的吆喝，才有chai的味道嗎？
