我初尝台湾乌龙茶的时候,是在上世纪90年代初,两岸之间的关系还没有如今这样密切,美妙的人间佳品还没有大批量地涌入内地市场。那一年我出访新加坡,新加坡国立大学的王润华教授请我们去他家用茶点,他的太太淡莹女士用台湾乌龙茶待客,很自豪地告诉我们说,乌龙茶在国际市场上卖价很贵,上品能卖到几百美金1公斤呢。 When I first taste Taiwan oolong tea, it was in the early 90s of last century that the relations between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait were not as close as they are today. The wonderful worldly good products have not flooded the mainland market in large quantities. That year I visited Singapore and Professor Wang Runhua of National University of Singapore invited us to his family refreshments. His wife, Ms. Ying Ying, came to Taiwan to serve with oolong tea and was proud to tell us that Oolong tea is very expensive in the international market. Can sell hundreds of dollars a kilogram yet.
