Even so, some 37 % of the tea inspected during a July competition in Hsin-chu ’ s growing area was rejected as containing too high a proportion of teas of foreign origin. This figure didn ’ t include the blends of foreign and local teas that did pass muster. Clearly, there is a good deal of foreign tea in Taiwan.
即使如此，今年 7 月新竹茶區評鑑時，遭淘汰的外來茶比例仍高達 37 %，這當中還不包括以本地茶與外來茶「拼堆」過關的，由此可見台灣外來茶比例之高。
