双龙抢珠
天无纤云水清沏，五载雅州无此月。
我来蒙顶夜吹箫，惊起山灵叫奇绝。
闻道蒙山风味佳，洞天深处饱烟霞。
冰绡剪碎先春叶，石髓香沾绝品花。
蟹眼不须煎活水，酪奴何敢问新芽。
若教陆羽持公论，应是人间第一茶。
扬子江中水，蒙山顶上茶。
昔日皇帝茶，今入百姓家。

Two Dragons Vying For The Ball
No clouds in the sky and the water fresh and pure,
for five years there hasn’t been such a bright moon in Yazhou.
Here I am on the top of Mengshan Mountain and playing the bamboo flute,
where the animals burst into loud cheers.
I heard that Mengshan enjoys great scenery
and deep in the valley are full of rosy glows.
When leaves in the early spring are trimmed by the icicles,
the aroma of finest flowers falls on the green jade.
Stewed by the water that is about to boil,
this tea is even better than the ones from new shoots.
If Lu Yu had tasted it,
he would label it the first class in the world.
Like the water in Yangtze River,
the Mengshan tea has the top quality.
What used to be presented to the emperor
have now come into the house of the ordinary people.
