" I keep asking myself throughout my tea journey: What Taiwanese tea is, and what it should be. Regarding tea tasting, I believe the mind is more important than our palate. This “Western philosophical” approach makes Deerland Tea's tea portfolio stand out. I make sure that my selection of teas is authentic in every sense besides being really, really delicious. "

" Taiwanese tea embodies the perfect harmony of terroir, craftsmanship, and culture. Its rich aromas and diverse flavors are deeply shaped by the land, each telling a flavorful story. I see it as an art refined by time and defined by its geographical uniqueness, where every sip offers a sensory journey—something to be savored and explored slowly. "

" Tea from Taiwan fascinates me—both scientifically and culturally—as a profound connection between humanity and nature. It is a craft honed over centuries, and when carefully crafted, it becomes something exquisite, fragrant, and almost magical. As a tea evaluator, my role is to make that magic more accessible and to invite others to help carry forward the craft's legacy for generations to come. "

" Taiwanese Tea Tasting is not merely a preference; it is also the most accessible and universal sensory language that transcends cultural barriers. It is precisely this language— using humans as instruments, and employing sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing, combined with objective measurements to analyze food —that enables international gastronomes to communicate, discuss, and evaluate on a common basis.  "
