塞舌尔当地饮料：Takamaka 朗姆酒、Kalu、Seybrew 和香草茶
塞舌尔群岛是西印度洋上的一片世外桃源，这里不仅有令人叹为观止的美景，还有各式各样的当地饮料，包括 Takamaka Rum、Kalu、Seybrew 和香草茶。
高中朗姆酒历史的愉悦
La Plaine St. André是一家备受推崇的蒸馏厂，标志性的Takamaka朗姆酒就是在这里酿造的，这里浓缩了塞舌尔丰富的历史。
这家酿酒厂的起源可追溯到 1792 年的一个种植园，随着时间的推移不断发展，向游客展示了传统、文化和朗姆酒酿造艺术。
游客可以在博物馆中漫步，沉浸在药用花园的芬芳中，甚至可以与两只雄伟的阿尔达布拉巨龟–塔卡和玛卡–互动。
朗姆酒的本质是从甘蔗或糖蜜中蒸馏出来的，并在木桶中陈酿不同的时间，这赋予了朗姆酒独特的风味和特性。发酵、蒸馏和陈酿的过程历经数百年的磨练，起源于世界各地，使其成为一种具有丰富历史和多样性的饮品。特别是 Takamaka 朗姆酒，它带有塞舌尔的独特风味，一丝热带风情和潜在的甜味，再配上只有良好的陈酿才能带来的温暖和深度。
它混合了各种味道，彰显了其发源地的风土人情。La Plaine St André在其存在的整个过程中经历了无数的变化，从种植肉桂和香草的繁盛时期到作为艺术馆和生态博物馆的时期。如今，在塞舌尔遗产基金会的合作下，酒厂将继续传承其传统，既保留其传奇的过去，又迎接未来的到来，为游客提供一次穿越时空的味觉之旅。
棕榈酒：塞舌尔文化中的卡卢精髓
Palm wine, synonymous with the name ‘Kalu’ in Seychelles, is derived from the sap of coconut palm trees. Kalu has been deeply intertwined with the Seychelles way of life since the early days of settlement. Its importance is not just in its consumption but in the traditions it represents. The term “Kalu” finds its roots in the Tamil word “Kallu,” signifying the freshly harvested, cloudy, and sweet juice. This sweet sap is carefully extracted from the unopened flower spike of the coconut palm. This spike, protected by a hard outer sheath, is the tree’s source of this delightful liquid. For the sap to flow, it may take anywhere between two to seven days. An adept Kalu collector knows precisely when to place his bamboo container to capture the essence of the tree. The health of the tree dictates how much sap can be tapped. If conditions are right, multiple unopened flower spikes from the same tree can be utilized, offering a sweet and refreshing drink initially.
The initial days after tapping bring forth the Kalu dou, a sweet variant of the drink, almost non-alcoholic and delightfully refreshing. However, as nature takes its course, fermentation starts, transforming the sweet Kalu dou into Kalu pike, slightly bubbly and tangy. As time progresses, within a 24-hour window, this effervescent drink morphs into a potent version with an alcohol content nearing 8%. Each stage of this transformation brings with it a unique flavor profile and experience, cherished and celebrated by the locals. Traditionally, this beverage is savored in a setting called lakanbiz. Drawing its name from the French term ‘la cambuse’, a lakanbiz could be an open-air gathering or a sheltered shed. The owner of this establishment must have the requisite license to serve this age-old drink, ensuring that the traditions around Kalu are maintained. Kalu has been the centerpiece in various local events, from birth celebrations to funeral wakes, and it continues to play an essential role in Seychelles’ day-to-day life. While other forms of alcohol might have taken precedence in recent times, the cultural and historical significance of Kalu remains undiminished. Its preparation, consumption, and the traditions surrounding it offer a glimpse into the heart of Seychelles.

香草茶：杯中的舒适
香草茶，尤其是塞舌尔的 SeyTé 品种，是一种令人沉醉的混合茶，它捕捉到了塞舌尔群岛丰富的植物和文化精髓。塞舌尔以出产世界上最精美的香草豆荚而闻名，香草在塞舌尔有着悠久的历史，因此香草茶在各种口味中独树一帜。
这款茶的香气让任何房间都弥漫着温暖、甜美的气息，让人回想起塞舌尔的热带微风。浸泡后，香草茶呈深琥珀色，口感既浓郁又细腻。香草茶的味道兼具茶叶的浓郁和香草的细腻甜美。正是这种细致入微的风味使 SeyTé 的香草茶如此独特。每一口都能品尝到茶叶的清爽口感，并顺利过渡到纯正的香草芬芳，在味蕾上留下持久的印象。
真正提升这款茶体验的是塞舌尔的传统，即在茶中加入淡奶或炼乳。这种做法源于早期鲜奶稀缺时的需要，如今已成为一种深受喜爱的仪式。牛奶为茶增添了天鹅绒般的浓郁口感，增强了茶的天然甜味和奶油质感。香草茶是一种令人舒适的饮品，与糕点或小吃完美搭配，成为许多塞舌尔人聚会的焦点。
香草茶证明了塞舌尔人将简单的食材变成真正特别的东西的能力。在雨天蜷缩起来看书，或者寻找一种平静的饮料，SeyTé 的香草茶都是完美的伴侣，随时随地都能带来一丝热带的温暖和舒适。
其他饮料
虽然 Takamaka Rum、Kalu、Seybrew 和香草茶仍然是最受欢迎的饮品，但其他当地饮品，如用甘蔗酿造的 Bacca 和椰子利口酒 Coco d’Amour 也值得一试。此外，不要错过 Eku 等其他当地啤酒。
总之，塞舌尔不仅有令人叹为观止的美景，还有多种多样的风味和体验。无论是品尝标志性的塔卡玛卡朗姆酒（Takamaka Rum），还是沉醉于当地的卡卢（Kalu）啤酒，或是享受冰镇的塞舌尔啤酒，抑或是喝一杯香草茶放松身心，塞舌尔群岛都将为您带来难忘的体验。
