August 24[edit]

Chinese translation request[edit]

From a request in WP-DE: Can anybody possibly read what the label of this tea can says and what exactly the content of the can is? --Stilfehler (talk) 15:01, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a type of oolong tea known as "Sparrow's Tongue" (雀舌). I've never had this variety, but Da Hong Pao is one of my favorites! The rest of the can is just branding. bibliomaniac 1 5 17:18, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! --Stilfehler (talk) 18:41, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was looking at the thread on de.wiki using Google Translate and hope that answers things satisfactorily. Archwizard should be honored...he's gotten quite a valuable gift! bibliomaniac 1 5 20:29, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this was very helpful. In the German WP, I had a hard time finding an active user who can read Chinese, so I'm happy I asked here. Thanks again! --Stilfehler (talk) 20:49, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot, very helpful. Archwizard (talk) 08:12, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just for interest: I tried to read the four characters top down, but I was not even able to recognize them. Could you tell me which characters that are and what it means? Thank you! --= (talk) 15:26, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

清韵茶品, qīngyùn chápǐn, if I'm not mistaken. chápǐn is just 'tea products'; can't tell about qīngyùn, but here's a lexicon link: [1]. Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:47, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
