You are learning the language of tea & wine: you will read the scene it happens in, learn 10 words and phrases, take apart the pattern behind them (comparative cultural analysis: a与b的异同), hear them in a conversation, rehearse them, and finish by saying one thing out loud to be graded.
A private tea ceremony at Song Fang Maison de Thé near Yu Garden, Shanghai, comparing Chinese tea culture with Western wine culture
茶艺师泡了一壶二十年的普洱茶，让我和一位法国侍酒师一起品。她说：「品茶与品酒有异曲同工之妙。你们今天可以交流一下。」
侍酒师先闻了闻茶香：「很有意思。这个茶有泥土和木头的味道，跟勃艮第的黑皮诺很像。」茶艺师笑了：「对，茶也讲风土。相比之下，茶更讲究冲泡的过程和意境，酒更讲究年份和搭配。」
侍酒师喝了一口说：「回甘很长。本质上跟好酒一样——入口是一种感觉，回味是另一种。」他又说：「法国人说terroir，中国人说风土，殊途同归。」
茶艺师又泡了一道。第三泡和第一泡完全不同——更醇厚，更安静。她说：「好茶和好酒一样，需要时间来打开。品茗论道，品酒论道，本质上都是对味觉极致的追求。」
