My high-altitude afternoon tea

This high-altitude afternoon tea is so special. It's brighter than others, but not as high. It's higher than others, but not as bright. Even if it's higher and brighter than others, it doesn't have the same unique environment. 👍👍

Sitting on a bamboo chair on the 14th floor, I gazed at Jiuyan Bridge in the distance. The Funan River flowed past, Hejiang Pavilion was close at hand, and the high-rise buildings were interspersed with clusters of ginkgo trees in various shades of yellow. The sky was high and the clouds were light. I hadn't even had a sip of tea, but I was already intoxicated.

The glass teapot was filled with Huamaofeng tea. As the boiling water was poured in, the fragrance of the tea mingled with the floral aroma. The tea was poured into the cup, and the steam rose. The tea was infused with a poetic and pleasant atmosphere. I thought of Bai Juyi's poem, "I have no reason to send a bowl of tea to a tea lover," but I didn't even have to brew the tea myself. Isn't that even more pleasant? Haha.

I peeled a few peanuts, took a small sesame cake, ate a piece of pomelo to cleanse my palate, looked at the distance and the sky, and daydreamed. 🍵 It was like an old friend returning under the lamp, and I was happy. ✌️

Next time, I must come at night to see the lights of Jiuyan Bridge and the night view of the Funan River.
