Introduction:
Size: 300g/Tin
Taiwan has great oolong tea competitions. The competitions are organized by local tea associations and endorsed by local governments to guarantee their credibility. The participants are mostly oolong farmers. Each candidate tea is submit by a total of 20 tai jin (12kg, or about 27 lb.). Winners of the competitions win honor, and their competition tea can be sold for a good price. Most competitions hold evaluation events twice a year, spring and winter. Although in current market, many Taiwan oolong products are not labeled with their cultivar names (Qing Xin/Green Heart; Jin Xuan/Golden Lily; Cui Yu/Green Jade; Si Ji Chun/Four Season Spring), in most competitions, different cultivars are put in different groups. The products called Oolong are all from Green Heart (the original Taiwan oolong cultivar). The other three cultivars are put in the same competition group called “New Cultivars Group” in some competitions and in some other competitions, they are put in three individual groups.
The tea has roasted aroma, and can be brewed for many times, and the tea liqour is very clear and orange golden, and very refreshing sweet with butter smell aftertaste.
The competitions select teas very strictly. Only teas of the best quality can enter the final competition, and the rest will be rejected. Teas from some competitions are very hard to get. Most competition teas are sold out before or soon after the awards are publicized. And for most competitions, it’s extremely hard to get the top award teas.
Taiwan Oolong Competitions have unique culture, it’s an admirable culture that can be adopted by other agricultural fields and other production regions. The advantages of Taiwan Oolong Competitions include:
1. All teas are submitted by farmers or tea merchants who are directly related to tea farmers. The honor goes to the farmers and local factories, the real producers.
2. Each award title is restricted to the specific 27 lb. tea submitted to the competition. The same farmer may submit multiple entries to a competition and may win multiple awards of various levels. But a farmer may produce hundreds of pounds of tea each year, and winning awards doesn’t mean all this farmer’s tea is award-winning tea. When you buy a competition tea, what you get is just the tea accepted and strictly inspected by the competition committee. Taiwan Oolong Competitions’ solid credibility is established on this strict rule.
So far we have been dealing with award-winning teas from two competitions.
1. Mei Shan Village Farmers’ Association Competition (Mei Shan is a high mountain region of Ali Shan Moutain range). It’s one of the highly reputable competition of light roast high mountain oolong. Candidate teas are from tea plantations of 1200m (3600 ft.) elevation. There are five evaluation events every year in this competition. We focus on Spring and Winter competitions, products from which are the most popular. The award levels are (from the highest): Superior Grade, Grade I, Grade II, Grade III, three-plum-flower – we label this as Grade IV, two-plum-flowe – we label this as Grade V.
2. Nan Tou County Tea Commerce Association Competition (Nan Tou is the home county of Dong Ding Oolong). This competition is featured with medium to high roasted tea products. It is one of the most inexpensive competitions in terms of the final prices of award-winning teas – this is compared with other competitions, but the teas are still generally more expensive then non-competition tea products in the market. There are two competition events every year, in spring and in winter.
