Taiwan's Pouchong Tea King Emerges! New Taipei Good Tea Pouchong Results Announced
During the COVID-19 pandemic across Taiwan, the New Taipei Good Tea Spring Pouchong Tea Evaluation became one of the few competitions to be held smoothly as scheduled, and its results are now out. Farmer Zhong Wenqing from Pinglin District stood out and won the top prize, the honor of "Pouchong Tea King." In addition, in response to the severe pandemic this year, the Pinglin District Farmers' Association also responded to the stay-at-home economy by listing the Wenshan Pouchong Tea spring competition tea on the "Pinglin District Farmers' Association - Taiwan Yellow Pages" mall for sale. Free shipping is available on purchases of 2,000 yuan or more, allowing people to stay at home and still safely enjoy seasonal tea delivered directly from the place of origin. It is currently the spring tea production season. Due to the severe COVID-19 pandemic, all kinds of local specialty tea evaluations across Taiwan have been affected. In consideration of epidemic prevention, measures such as postponement or cancellation have been adopted. Because Wenshan Pouchong Tea is an important local specialty tea of New Taipei City, and Pinglin District is the main production area of pouchong tea, accounting for 60% of the city's output, the "New Taipei Good Tea - Wenshan Pouchong Tea Evaluation" held every spring and winter production season is the largest-scale evaluation competition in northern Taiwan. However, because either cancellation or postponement would seriously affect tea farmers, in order to protect farmers' livelihoods, the New Taipei City Agriculture Department guided the evaluation organizer, the Pinglin District Office, to formulate relevant epidemic prevention guidelines for the evaluation process. The evaluation process strictly followed the epidemic prevention regulations of the Central Epidemic Command Center. The number of people in the evaluation space was reduced to fewer than 5, and it was not open to the public, ensuring epidemic prevention while also protecting tea farmers' livelihoods.<br /> <img alt="" src="/uploads/allimg/210610/1-2106102022533M.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 400px;" /></div> <div> </div> <div> After the beginning of spring this year, cold air continued to move southward. The cool temperatures allowed the tea leaves to grow fully, and the harvest period coincided with dry weather, increasing spring tea output. Therefore, this year's spring evaluation had a total of 1,517 tea entries. It took judges 9 days to conduct tasting and screening, and finally Zhong Wenqing, a farmer born in 1967 from the fifth tea production and marketing class in Pinglin District, took home the spring Tea King title.</div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> Zhong Wenqing left Taipei in 2016 and returned to Pinglin to take over the family tea-making business. Although he is a fourth-generation tea maker, because he had no contact with tea production before returning home, he also learned from scratch under Chen Wenqing, chairman of the Pinglin Farmers' Association. In just 5 years, he honed a fine tea-making skill, and in recent years he also began to appear in Wenshan Pouchong Tea evaluations. From winning first prize in last year's (2020) winter evaluation, this year not only did all the tea samples he entered win awards, he also brought home the top prize honor. Zhong Wenqing said, "Only healthy tea trees can produce good tea. Of course, tea-making involves a lot of knowledge, and I am still learning." At present, Zhong Wenqing's tea garden area is about 2 hectares, mainly producing Wenshan Pouchong Tea, with an annual output of about 800 jin.</div> <div> </div> <div> Chen Guoren, former director of the Tea Research and Extension Station under the Council of Agriculture, now retired and holding a tea-tasting license, said that the production process of Wenshan Pouchong Tea greatly tests technique. It is necessary to control the color, aroma and taste of the tea liquor through the degree of fermentation of the tea leaves. Therefore, the withering and stirring process determines the quality of the tea, and this year's top prize winner was excellent in color, aroma and taste.</div> <div>⟦NL> </div> <div> Li Wen, director of the New Taipei City Agriculture Department, said that due to the severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to protect tea farmers' income, the Pinglin District Office was guided to formulate an epidemic prevention plan for the evaluation, and the manpower at the competition venue was also simplified so that the evaluation could be held smoothly. If people want to drink good tea, they can go to the Pinglin District Farmers' Association's "Pinglin District Farmers' Association - Taiwan Yellow Pages" mall to buy seasonal competition tea. The website currently offers a promotion with free shipping on purchases of 2,000 yuan or more, making it more convenient for friends who love the floral aroma of pouchong tea to obtain fresh good tea delivered directly from the place of origin.</div> <div> </div>
