The photographer drinks tea.

Who is Susie?

After 70, he is a writer and lives in Xiamen. ?

Maybe you have read her new book "Flowers bloom-Happy with Plants";

Or I have heard of her tea study, a "private time" space for books, tea and music.

If you drink her "Fujian Twenty-four Solar Life Tea", you are likely to become addicted, and then you will have a sense of ritual for a better life.

This windy Aries woman,

Always live freely on the road that suits your nature.

In July, 20 13, Susie and her friends found a small room in Shapowei, the last shelter in Xiamen, facing the small harbor where people parked their fishing boats, and opened their small teahouse-Shapowei Tea.

This is a specific export that Susie and her friends have been interested in for many years. As a former media person and writer, Susie has done advertising sales, brand planning and tourism planning, but her favorite is tea, which is related to her hometown, customs and the world. For many years, Susie has been looking for flowers and trees, visiting tea leaves and visiting tea people.

Xiamen Port is known as the starting point of the Maritime Tea Silk Road. Xiamen people first shipped tea to Indonesia and sold it to the Dutch. Shapowei is the last relic of Xiamen Port. Su Xi wants to wait and restore some traditional charms about Fujian tea and life in this place, and also hopes to give an outlet for daily life in tea.

The name of a kind of tea comes from Kobayashi, a famous Japanese haiku poet. He has a haiku:

Moist world

Although it is the world of dew.

Even so.

It also means "one tea at a time, one tea at a time".

2065438+On March 30th, 2009, due to the expiration of the lease, the teahouse with the earliest tea life had to close. Su Shi and her friends posted on the official WeChat account that "the seaside teahouse where we watched the sunset together is going to close". Many old guests came to tea to say goodbye, and several photographers also left the final images.

Susie said that Shapowei tea in the shelter witnessed the transformation of the whole area-it was transformed into a fake harbor with no traces of the past, so that tourists from unknown so could punch in. Yicha is one of the earliest shops in the shelter, and I witnessed this scene with my own eyes.

Over the years, Yicha has recorded the changes of this harbor in its own way. Susie invited photographer Luo, together with her daily photography with her friends, to print a set of postcards of the 24 solar terms at Shapowai. Those 24 photos are missing today.

However, some things have been left behind-some have become part of the years, while others have injected more vitality.

The former, like many friends who have had tea. Over the years, there have been many celebrities in a tea shop. They often drink tea and chat late into the night in a small teahouse. For example, Yi Cha's good friend, the secret backyard band, will come to Xiamen to perform and have a tea party. The lead singer Kuang Xiaoyu also wrote a song called "One Brake" for Yi Cha. "Let's stay with the plants and trees in the world forever," said Susie. This lyric is so good that she often quotes it at new book sharing meetings.

The latter, like Susie's most proud thing, began to sort out the concept and system of "Fujian 24 solar terms life tea" from 20 13, including all the well-known and unknown teas in Fujian tea, and introduced and promoted Fujian tea through solar terms renewal and solar terms tea subscription. Over the past six years, many guests have become friends with a cup of tea and started to follow the journey of drinking tea in solar terms, turning simple days into beautiful days.

20 18 165438+ October, on the other side of the shelter, a tea study was born, which is a new spatial form. Susie and her friends put their understanding of tea in the past six years, and also added their favorite books to the space, making books the soul of the space. There is also a small listening room in the space-the soul kitchen, inspired by another owner, Liang Yimeng. There are books, tea and music, which is Susie's ideal life state and her ideal spiritual outlet.

April 20 19, Quanzhou "One Tea Study Room" opened in the depths of the alley. At the same time, the second "one tea study" in Xiamen also opened on the arcade of the old city.

Six years later, although a cup of tea has never been profitable, Susie and her friends still insist. In these six years, she got married, gave birth to a daughter, and published a new book, Flowers Bloom-Happy with Plants. These important things in life are all related to a cup of tea.

In Susie's book Tea and a Tea Space, you can read the taste close to your heart-sharing happiness with mountains and seas, enjoying poetry with tea and meeting friends.

Susie's recommendation?

"people outside things"

On June 1, I went to pioneer bookstore, Nanjing to share my new book, so I met Ms. Huang Hong, a translator and professor of French Department of Nanjing University. She started reading her translations in 2003. Speaking of it, a cup of tea has a lot to do with her, because the name of a cup of tea comes from her translation of the book However by the French writer Philippe Frey.

In addition to translating books and articles, Mr. Huang Mi also makes the terrace at home full of flowers and lush vegetation. She also has a nice name "Xianlin Flower Fairy". It's interesting to see her looking for flowers everywhere and living surrounded by vegetation.

"outer space"

When I went to Nanjing in June, I went to the Pioneer Insect Bookstore in Xuanwu Lake. Bookstores are very interesting. The books sold in it are all related to insects, and even the equipment in the store is related to insects. For example, there are ants on the bookshelf, spiders and longicorn at the corner of the stairs, all of which are lifelike. Pushing open the window on the second floor of the bookstore is an endless lake, which is really different. ?

"extracurricular activities"

One Tea just started a small activity this year, called "I have tea in Xiamen". In addition to restoring the original solar tea party, Yicha also invites new and old friends to have tea in various interesting Shan Ye and various spaces in Xiamen, such as Huxi Cave, Hongshan, Botanical Garden and Jinbang Mountain in Xiamen. I think this activity should be very impressive.

Welcome friends from other places to participate in "I have tea in Xiamen", or if you want to organize similar activities in other cities, we are willing to provide tea support.
