特483 臺灣茶藝郵票 / Sp. 483 Taiwan Tea Ceremony Postage Stamps
Issued on: 26 Jan, 2006

Taiwan’s warm and humid climate makes it highly suitable for growing world-famous top-quality teas, such as Oolong and Baojhong. Drinking tea is different from drinking other common beverages. The people of Taiwan consider the drinking of tea a “lifestyle art.” It is regarded as a refined leisure activity, good for the body and mind, and promoting friendships and social life. The tea ceremony now popular in Taiwan emphasizes an appreciation of tea’s colors, smells and tastes as well as the brewing techniques that perfect them. These techniques involve the choice of tea sets and other utensils to make tea, the control of water temperature, the amount of tea leaves used and the time used for brewing. These skills require much study and practice, as well as familiarity with the different brewing methods used for different kinds of tea. With these, the pleasure from drinking tea is raised to a new level.

Today, when the art of drinking tea is widely celebrated, this set of five “Taiwan Tea Ceremony Postage Stamps” features the five steps in the traditional gongfu tea ceremony: preparing the tea set and warming the pot, placing the tea leaves in the pot and rinsing them, pouring hot water over the pot and warming the cups, drying the outside of the pot and pouring the tea, and smelling and drinking the brewed tea. Each of these stamps has denomination of NT$5.00.


台灣氣候潤濕暖和，生產各種品質優異的茶葉，如烏龍茶、包種茶等馳名世界。茶與一般飲料不同，國人常以「生活藝術」來飲茶，是一種高雅的休閒活動，具有健康身體、修心養性、增進社交友誼的作用。現在台灣社會流行的「茶藝」，在享受茶的色、香、味，講究沖泡技巧，使茶香、茶味和湯色都能盡善盡美，這些沖泡技巧包括泡茶器具的選用、水溫的控制、茶葉用量和沖泡時間的調配等，都必須是愛茶人士揣摩演練，並熟悉不同茶葉的沖泡技巧後才能享受真正的品茗樂趣。
在飲茶藝術被大力推廣的今天，本組「臺灣茶藝郵票」以古傳統中最具風味的「功夫泡茶法」為主題，依據泡茶之順序「備具 溫壺」、「置茶 溫潤」、「沖壺 溫杯」、「乾壺 分茶」、「聞香 品茗」製作郵票1組5枚，面值均為5元。
