2017 TOST - Another busy day in Northern Taiwan

Last full day of #2017TOST.

We first visit Taiwan Tea Corporation / San Hsia Tea Factory.
(*we are politely not to take photos inside the facility, just for our members to do study...)
Right above the factory,  TTC has a lovely tea house and we spend some time to browse around.

 

 

 

 

Followed by visiting TTC's Daxi Old Tea Plant, which has been renovated to be a tourist place for people in Taiwan to learn the history also to see the different layout for Black tea process from most Oolong tea factories.

 

 

 

 

After Daxi Tea Plant, we stop by Yinge Ceramic Town, as many of our members want to buy some tea wares for own collection or for business.

 

The last stop is the food company that every Taiwanese is proud of,  IMei Foods.  We have the honor to visit their laboratories and also to learn how they do their Food Safety Control.  #2017TOST enjoy our delicious dinner their!

 

 

 

 

 

 

2017 TOST - Certification Ceremony

Time to have the certificates for #2017TOST members.
Two of our members, Victoria and Becky have to leave earlier, so we have their certificates presented yesterday...

Before the ceremony, Norman still wants to share with our members for a last tea lesson...

Glad that Johnny Tu and Norman Shu come to the ceremony, and we are happy our #2017TOST members have smoothly done this program.
Thank you all! We hope everyone has a safe trip home and take use of the experience and knowledge you've obtained during this program. Start to share and we believe you guys are genuine Taiwan Tea Ambassadors!
