100 organic teas will be unveiled at Nantou World Tea Expo! The Tzu Xin Organic Agriculture Development Foundation undertakes the 2nd "Organic Tea theme Pavilion" and selects 100 organic tea farmers from all over Taiwan to bring good tea, such as white tea, green tea, oriental beauty, and so on. At the scene, there is a flavor wheel built with the assistance of the director of Wenshan, so that visitors can follow their preferences and flavor according to the clues.

Chen Chi-jung, director and secretary of the Agriculture and Food Administration, says that there are 299 organic tea farmers in Taiwan, and this organic tea theme restaurant includes 1/3 farmers. "the quality of organic tea will not be lost to that of habitual tea, but it is better for the body and the environment, and people should drink more tea!"

The Nantou World Tea Expo has been held for 11 years, and so far it has accumulated 500000 people. Last year, the Tzu Xin Organic Agriculture Development Foundation organized an organic tea theme hall for the first time, which received enthusiastic response from tea farmers and the public, so it was continued this year. The exhibition will be held from October 9 to October 18 in Zhongxing New Village, Nantou.

At present, the total area of organic tea cultivation in the country is 422 hectares. Chen Qirong said that the total area of tea cultivation in the country is more than 12000 hectares. Although organic tea accounts for only 0.3%, it has grown from more than 300 hectares in previous years to more than 400 hectares. It shows that consumers' demand for organic tea has grown. "the total planting area of tea farmers on the spot is 217 hectares, accounting for more than half of the total area of organic tea in Taiwan."

Su Murong, CEO of the Tzu Xin Organic Agriculture Development Foundation, said that in the past, there was no special distinction between organic tea at tea fairs. Organic tea farmers coached by Tzu Xin said privately that they hoped that organic tea could be independent, rather than being submerged at the expo. in order to help farmers promote it, the foundation only began to set up organic tea theme pavilions last year.

Su Murong explains that when it was first held last year, the Organic Tea Farmers' Association was worried about limited results and hesitated to participate, so only 60 of the 100 organic tea farmers actually signed up, but consumers responded enthusiastically. Tea farmers were also encouraged. "Last year, Nantou consumers came to drink every day, which moved the farmers." When the registration was received this time, the quota of 100 was soon filled, and the tea farmers even asked whether it would be processed again next year.
