Chen says the mainland's improvements in its processing, management, and marketing skills aren't the only reason Taiwanese tea has been losing market share. "Another reason is that Taiwanese growers are themselves growing tea in the mainland now," explains Chen.
陳志任進一步分析，近年台茶在中國市場萎縮，除了大陸茶的技術、管理與行銷能力提昇外，「台灣茶農到大陸種茶也是原因之一。」
