At the 123rd anniversary celebration of the Tea and Beverage Research Station under the Ministry of Agriculture, the Tse-Xin Ching Yuan Tea Farm was honored with the national "2026 Tea Industry Outstanding Contribution Award." This recognition celebrates their exceptional performance in the organic tea industry, ecological conservation, and sustainability promotion. The prestigious award follows a rigorous screening process across three major dimensions—production, processing, and marketing—with only three organizations nationwide receiving the honor. This serves as a strong validation of Tse-Xin's long-term dedication to sustainable development in Taiwan's tea industry.

 

Su Zong-zhen, Director of the Taiwan Tea Research and Extension Station (TRES), personally presented the "115th Tea Industry Outstanding Contribution Award," which was accepted by Chen Li-fang on behalf of the Jing Yuan Tea Farm.

 

Connecting the World with Exceptional Tea: Enhancing International Competitiveness
The Ching Yuan Tea Farm does not just protect the environment; it also elevates tea quality through masterful fermentation and roasting craftsmanship. In addition to consecutively winning the "Special Selection Award" and the overall championship at Taiwan's TAGs (National Organic Tea Assortment & Grading System) Evaluation, the farm achieved the highest honor—the "Three-Star Award"—at the Belgium iTQi Superior Taste Award in 2025. This achievement proves to the world that Taiwan's organic tea possesses world-class competitiveness.
In terms of industry development, the farm provides local farmers with peace of mind through contract farming and guaranteed purchase prices. Beyond hosting consumer education events, they also manage the "Organic Island Tea" brand. This connects over a hundred organic tea farmers across Taiwan, building a highly representative platform for the organic tea industry. In recent years, this initiative has successfully attracted numerous corporations to engage in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) sustainability collaborations. This powerful influence has also reached overseas, seamlessly integrating organic tea production with environmental education.

 

 

Uniting More Partners to Continuously Expand the Power of Preservation
Looking back on 18 years of overcoming hardship, the Tse-Xin Ching Yuan Tea Farm has proven through steadfast steps that "Drinking Tea to Protect Reservoirs" is a sustainable initiative that safeguards both the environment and the future of farmers. Over the years, it has attracted agricultural experts from 20 countries, including Canada and Brazil, to visit and learn, sharing Taiwan's sustainable practices with the world.

 

Moving forward, bolstered by the public's recognition and support, Tse-Xin will continue to promote the green transformation of the organic tea industry with public recognition and support. By bringing together more goodwill, they aim to further extend this green network that protects the harmony of all living things.
