Tea Dictionary (2) 字母 D E

Darjeeling: This tea district in northeast India is best known for its brisk and floral black teas.

大吉岭:印度东北部茶产区,以出产口味甘醇,富有花香味的红茶著称.

Dust: The smallest and usually lower quality grade of tea commonly used in commercial teabags.

茶末:最细碎的通常也是最低质量等级的茶叶,通常用于质量低劣的袋泡茶中.

Dust tea is a low-quality grade of fine grained black tea. Traditionally these were treated as the rejects of the manufacturing process in making high quality leaf tea like the Orange Pekoe. When leaves break or get crushed during the manufacturing process they are variously labelled as Broken Orange Pekoe, Fannings and dust based on the particle size. The smaller the particle, the lower the quality.

This traditionally low quality tea has however experienced a huge demand in the developing world in the last century as the practice of tea drinking became popular. Cheap tea stalls in India and the South Asian sub-continent, and Africa prefer dust tea because it is cheap and also produces a very strong brew - consequently more cups are obtained per measure of tea dust.

茶末是一种质量等级低的微小颗粒状的红茶.传统上,茶末被看作在制作高档条型茶诸如橙黄白毫的过程中的下脚料.在制茶过程中,茶叶会被压碎,破裂,根据所形成的颗粒尺寸的不同,它们各自被标注为碎橙黄白毫,茶片,和茶末.颗粒越小,等级越低.
在上世纪,随着饮茶日渐风尚,这种传统意义上低档的茶叶在发展中国家却需求强劲.廉价茶叶在印度和南亚次大陆滞销,但在非洲却颇受欢迎因为廉价而且茶汤口味较重,结果,茶末含量越高,可以泡的杯数越多.(译直维基百科)

Earl Grey: A black tea scented with citrus oil from the Bergamot orange.

格雷伯爵茶:用提炼于香柠檬的一种柠檬油调味的红茶.

以下是一段摘直维基百科的关于格雷伯爵茶的描述,英文维基的叙述还不错,摘录如下并给出我的翻译,而中文版维基就不敢恭维了,竟然有火药绿茶的说法,令人瞠目.(茶叶界都知道浙江安徽一带所产珠茶在国际社会声名远扬,当年不知哪位前辈把珠茶妙译成gunpowder(黑色火药),从此Gunpowder一直沿用至今)

Earl Grey tea is a tea blend with a distinctive flavour and aroma derived from the addition of oil extracted from the rind of the bergamot orange, a fragrant citrus fruit. extracted from Wikipedia

格雷伯爵茶是一种拼配茶,其独特的风味和芳香来源于加入的一种柠檬油,这种柠檬油萃取于香柠檬的外皮,香柠檬是一种柑桔类的芳香的水果.

Traditionally the term "Earl Grey" was applied only to black tea; however, today the term is also applied to green teas, including white tea and oolong, and tisanes, such as rooibos, that contain oil of bergamot, or a bergamot flavour. Because of Earl Grey's aroma and Twinings' distinctive packaging in England with Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, the tea is sometimes called "Old Stinky". extracted from Wikipedia

传统上,格雷伯爵茶这个用语只用于红茶,然而,当今,这个用语也可用于加入了柠檬香油,或者带有香柠檬口味的绿茶,包括乌龙茶,白茶和香草茶,像南非红灌木茶.由于格雷伯爵茶的芳香和顿宁社在伦敦印有查尔斯.格雷,格雷二世伯爵的独具特色的包装,格雷伯爵茶有时也被戏称做"臭老东西"
