Two types of Taiwan Oriental Beauty Black Tea won the British three-Star Award for Childhood Tea Xiang Zhang Jiaqi changed from pilot to champion tea maker.

According to Caixin, on Zhang Jiaqi's business card and tea bag, there is a sailboat with a teapot as its hull, with the words "Formo Cha TAIWAN 1869" printed on it. Why 1869? "because that year was the starting point for Taiwan's tea station on the world stage." He stared at the round sign with the two stars "Great Test 2020" affixed to the tea jar and smiled: "the 2021 sign hasn't been sent yet. It took me three years to draw this ship!"

The era of world events for mankind had several important events in 1869: the opening of the Suez Canal and the opening of the United States Pacific Railway. In Taiwan, Baoshun, a Scottish businessman named Todd, the father of Taiwan's oolong tea, and Li Chunsheng, the father of Taiwan tea, carried 200000 3000 pounds of Formosa Oolong (Formosa Oolong) on two sailboats, set sail for New York and caused an uproar. Taiwan Tea became famous overnight and established its place on the world stage. A refined, spice-free pure tea, a high-priced representative drink made by skilled tea makers.

"at the British tea exchange venue, there is no need to explain, they will immediately say, Oh! I know Taiwan, I know Formosa Tea, it's expensive and delicious. " Zhang Jiaqi began to compete in the world arena in 2018, and the first one to fight was the British "Great Test Awards". This was established by the British Food Association in 1994 and is recognized as the largest food flavor evaluation competition in the world. Although Zhang Jiaqi failed, he won a medal for the second year and won a medal for three years in a row.

Young people return home with ambition to play in the International Cup

According to the analysis of Caixin, more than 14000 products from 108 countries will participate in the 2021 competition, which will be judged blindly by 355 people from the food industry all over the world. Zhang Jiaqi's Oriental Beauty Tea "Flower God Flora" and "Moon God Luna" won the highest three-star award. In the single manor tea project, only three won the three-star prize. Zhang Jiaqi sold two kinds of tea and all reached a touchdown, setting a new record for the competition in the past 25 years. The other is Darjeeling black tea from the British company Teafields.

"it's more difficult to compare," said Zhang Jiaqi. "maybe it's to prove something. Young people will encounter all kinds of difficulties when they return home, and they always want to prove themselves." Before that, he participated in the Maoli black tea competition in 2016 and 2017, and did not win a prize in the first year. Although he won a medal in the second year, the judge said, "look at you, young people are willing to go home to make tea, encourage you, let you take a prize home." It seems that the young man's return to his hometown has the care of his elders, although he feels warm, but he is not convinced.

According to Caixin, Zhang Jiaqi was born into a family that makes tea-drying machines. Most of the tea-making machines on the Taiwan 3 line come from their factories, from Grandpa Zhang Jianye to Zhang Murong, the owner of his father Mingyang Tea Company. In addition to designing and building tea-making machines and equipment, he is also in the business of selling and selling tea. His childhood dream was to fly a plane and learn to fly in Australia. He could already get a civil aviation pilot's license for the accumulated flight hours, but before reaching the last mile, he stopped and went home to help make tea.
