May 24, 2009 was simmering hot. However, there were about 30 people went hiking from Two-River 二 水 town of Chang-Hua County to Ming-Jeng 名間 village of Nan-Tou County, approximately 5 Km. This hike was sponsored by NCHU Organic Farm Market Organization. Mr. Jau-Fu Ou was also hiking with us.
The purpose of the hike was to visit an organic tea farm at Ming-Jeng 名間. At the end of the hike, we were warmly greeted with the host and were treated with a feast plus presentation on tea farming and process. A highlight of the gathering was a tea-tasting contest. All of us were presented with six teas labeled with A, B, C, D, E, and F. We were asked to identify which one was the Vietnamese tea, and which one was the adulterated tea. Seven people including Jau-Fu identified those tea correctly; I am not. Actually, I identified wrong tea two out of two. It means I failed the contest miserably.
You may ask if I am given another chance to try again, do I have a chance. You may have a hope; but not me. My nose and my tasting bud just cannot tell the difference. It is hopeless.
