Taiwanese tea is gaining international acclaim

Even though it is called Taiwanese tea, some people may not have a very specific image of it. Although it may be thought of as just a type of Chinese tea, it has evolved in a unique way due to the unique conditions of this island country, which is geographically and climatically different from China.

Although black tea and green tea are also produced in Taiwan, the overwhelming majority of teas are blue teas, such as oolong tea. Various types of tea are produced depending on the production area in Japan. Oolong tea is a type of semi-fermented tea that is positioned between unfermented green tea and fully fermented black tea, and it has a flavor that has an excellent balance of refreshing and richness. This semi-fermentation process has a wide range of variations depending on the brand, and this produces Taiwanese tea with a wide variety of flavors.

This Taiwanese tea has won numerous awards at international gourmet awards since the beginning of this century. The regular tea introduced on Borderless Tasty also receives multiple awards at the Excellence in Taste Awards held in Belgium every year.

The Excellence in Taste Award has been sponsored since 2005 by the International Taste Insutitute, which is comprised of top-class chefs and sommeliers who have been rated by the Michelin Guide, etc., and is based on various factors such as taste, aroma, texture, and appearance. We examine a wide variety of foods and beverages that we consume in our daily lives in accordance with objective and international sensory analysis standards. Many of Ding Ying's teas have won consecutive awards for multiple years, and are widely known as top-class teas in Taiwan. For this reason, it is a designated gift for Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (equivalent to the embassy), and is also a designated brand for major airlines such as China Airlines and EVA Air.
