吃碧螺春冰淇淋，向春天道別 Say Goodbye to Spring with Taiwanese Biluochun Tea Ice Cream in Taipei

吃碧螺春冰淇淋，向春天道別 Say Goodbye to Spring with Taiwanese Biluochun Tea Ice Cream in Taipei

我從小沉迷冰淇淋，長大後甚至買了簡單冰淇淋機在家自己做。

I was addicted to Ice Cream as I was a child. And I bought a simple ice cream maker at home to try to make it on my own few years ago.

台灣夏天又熱又長，冰品種類超多，冰淇淋在盛夏神奇對手無數，所以，我覺得吃冰淇淋最佳時節，反而是春分到穀雨這段時間，而這也是碧螺春茶採收期。

But there’re too many powerful icy sweets would come out to seduce you in Summer of Taiwan. So I thought that the best time for ice cream in Taiwan is the late Spring. And that’s the same time for harvesting Taiwanese Biluochun Tea.

用台灣在地食材做冰淇淋的蜜朵麗，每次都引動我私心挑戰他們，因為他們用的水果，多半是我們一般人買得到的水果，有幾種也是我在家手忙腳亂試著做過的冰淇淋口味。

I challenged Midori Ice Cream Store at my home for a couple times as they always said that they could make the new flavor of ice cream with Taiwanese fruits.

但，台灣碧螺春冰淇淋，我做不出，或許茶葉不同，或許用茶葉做冰淇淋秘訣，我沒抓到。

I admitted that I failed to make the Biluochun Tea Ice Cream anyway. I don’t know it’s the reason of tea or some secrets I did’t know.

所以，到四四南村吃碧螺春冰淇淋，是我自己發展出的一個向春天道別的小儀式。

So, I would go to their ice cream store to have some Biluochun Tea Ice Cream. That’s my personal ceremony to say goodbye to Spring.

對我而言，四四南村永遠比對面的101大樓有魅力，看簡單市集裡忙著布置攤位的年輕面孔，捕捉一點在冰淇淋店窗戶上反映的藍天，慢慢把碧螺春冰淇淋吃完。

44th Southern Villege is more attractive than Taipei101 to me.

I would have my ice cream and watch the young faces in Simple Market. Maybe take a picture outside the window of ice cream store to catch a reflection of blue sky.

吃完冰，春天走了，夏天闖進來了。

As I finished the ice cream, Spring faded out and Summer broke in.
