今年老弟去西歐走了一小圈,跑了一趟法國Mariage Freres,也為想要飛呀飛卻飛也飛不高A-Mao,帶回來回憶中的美好味道:白象紅茶。暹羅傳說,捕到白色的大象,就象徵著王國會繁盛昌隆。這款茶在台灣,早就買不到了;十多年沒見,真是給他恍如隔世啊!優質的紅茶葉,燻以荔枝、柑橘、與佛手柑的香氣,再混入玫瑰、以及矢車菊的花瓣。外觀在視覺上,和過去的美麗印象,並沒有啥不同;但與記憶中的味道,似乎有些出入。依然是馥郁甘美、風姿綽約;只是,少了點驚艷的感覺。

G7 HÒA TAN ĐEN—G7黑咖啡
吼!外勞商店真的是好好逛喔(謎之聲:東南亞食品店比較貼切啦)~G7的咖啡一直是到越南出差旅行,回國饋贈親友等路清單中的一員。2008年到這個世界咖啡產量僅次於巴西的國家自助,卻忘了購買,相當懊惱;這次在台灣,不愛甜食的A-Mao碰到G7有出黑咖啡,非常感動。相較於freeze-dried即溶黑咖啡的粗枝大葉,G7的粉末就離奇地細緻。說到香氣味道,簡直比一般咖啡壺沖泡的還要佳美;餘韻略微酸澀,不過持續不會太久。根本就是即溶咖啡的極品!更驚人的是:一盒15包只要35台鋃。【G7 Instant Black Coffee】

Artichoke Tea—朝鮮薊茶
話說一日逛外勞商店東南亞雜貨店,發現這朝鮮薊茶(越文:Trà Atisô、百合花茶);A-Mao如獲至寶,趕緊買一盒回家嚐試(Hung Phat製造,哇哩還有TÜV認證咧)。說到味道嘛……其實還算OK;不過有空還是會常去購買,因為在我們台灣寶島也罕見的朝鮮薊(Artichoke;又名洋薊、菜薊),可是含有珍貴的「Cynarin」,這可是強肝利膽的好物喔!但是,由於沒有經過純化的動作,A-Mao建議:還是只當一般不含咖啡因的飲品來喝就好啦。又:一樣是保肝聖品的「Silymarin」,是由乳薊(Milk Thistle;又名水飛薊)提煉而成。再又:千鋃大鈔背面左下角的玉山薊(又名雞角刺、川上氏薊、富貴薊),為台灣特有種的護肝藥草;不過也因為此,被偷拔到快要絕種啦!拜託:玉山又不是開心農場!

Agora Daqu in Taiwan—金獎大麯
Agora is a new baijiu enterprise in Taiwan and really good at marketing. One day A-Mao, a guy enjoys beer, wine & sake mainly, found this small, cute bottle of Daqu which is one kind of sorghum spirit. It is so economical that 100ml containing 58% alcohol costs 50 NTD only. After being uncapped, the aroma is like ripe apples. Sip by sip, the taste is soft and smooth. A brand-new nice experience! And, A-Mao went to bed.....

Montagne d'Or—黃金山脈
Many years before, someone used a digital camera, which had not been popular yet, took a similar picture for me. I liked it but didn't appreciate it enough then......Mariage Freres' Montagne d'Or (or mountain of gold) has been one of my favorite beverages for almost ten years. It contains Chinese black tea, marigold, safflower and rose blossoms as well as pieces of papaya & apple to express a colorful image & symphonic flavor. A-Mao likes to soak some by cool water in a PET bottle in the refrigerator for one day, and it tastes so marvelous, especially in summer.
