White Lotus, First Snow: The Spring’s Melody, a Wafting Scent

【香韵三叠】——以茶香摹写莲池禅境

Threefold Fragrance——Depicting Lotus Pond Zen Realm with Tea Aroma

▌初息·月露叩莲（清凛篇）

First Breath · Moon Dew Taps Lotus (Crisp)

取头采白毫银针初蕊，配以清晨莲露与微量苦橙花精油

First harvest Silver Needle tea buds, blended with morning lotus dew and a hint of bitter orange blossom essential oil

——香气似月下莲瓣承接的第一滴露水，带着山泉般的清冽与微涩

——The aroma resembles the first dewdrop caught by a lotus petal under moonlight, carrying the crispness and slight astringency of a mountain spring

如古僧踏露采摘时，指尖沾染的天地初醒之息

Like the awakening breath of nature that lingers on an ancient monk’s fingertips during morning harvest

▌漫展·泉润莲心（澄明篇）

Unfolding · Spring Water Moistens Lotus Heart (Clear)

融入白兰花蕊与野生山蜂蜜，佐以三年陈化寿眉茶原精

Infused with white orchid stamens and wild mountain honey, complemented by three-year-aged Shou Mei tea absolute

——茶香如泉水流过莲径，蜜香温润似阳光穿透莲房

——The tea fragrance flows like spring water through lotus stems, honey notes warm as sunlight penetrating the seedpod 呈现白茶特有的「毫香蜜韵」，仿佛听见莲叶承水时清脆的滴答声

Presents white tea’s unique “downy aroma and honey sweetness”, evoking the sound of water droplets falling on lotus leaves

▌归寂·禅烟绕蓬（蕴化篇）

Return to Silence · Zen Smoke encircles Pod (Transformative)

以窖藏白牡丹为基，调入雪松木心与琥珀碎粉

Aged White Peony tea as base, blended with cedar heartwood and crushed amber powder

——香气沉静如古莲蓬低垂，木香与茶韵交融成圆满的寂美

——The scent settles like an ancient lotus pod bowing, wood and tea notes merging into perfect serene beauty

——留香逾十时辰，恰似茶禅一味后的余韵悠长

——Fragrance lingers over ten hours, like the lasting aftertaste after experiencing “tea and zen are one”

【莲相三重境】

Three Lotus Realms

◇ 枯莲禅相（一期一会）

◇ Withered Lotus Zen Form (One Time, One Meeting)

仿照敦煌壁画中千年枯莲造型，瓣缘呈自然卷曲残破之美

Modeled after millennium-old withered lotuses in Dunhuang murals, with naturally curled and fractured petal edges

表面錾刻流水纹与莲脉纹交错，暗合「流水今日，明月前身」的禅机

Surface engraved with interwoven water and vein patterns, echoing the Zen paradox “today’s flowing water is yesterday’s moon”

花心嵌可旋转银制莲蓬，转动时现出「吃茶去」三字禅偈

Rotating silver seedpod at the center reveals the Zen phrase “Go drink tea” when turned

◇ 莲底舟印（渡香之筏）

◇ Boat Imprint Under Lotus (Fragrance Ferry)

背面浮雕「莲舟茶渡图」：一叶扁舟载茶筅行于莲脉之上

Back relief depicts “Lotus Boat Carrying Tea”: a leaf boat carrying tea whisk sailing on lotus veins 底部阴刻宋代茶典《茗笈》摘录与山泉坐标密文

Inscriptions from Song dynasty tea classic “Tea Manual” and mountain spring coordinates hidden underneath

取「一叶一菩提」之意，融合茶禅哲学与莲舟美学

Embodies “one leaf contains enlightenment”, blending tea zen philosophy with lotus boat aesthetics
