Evergreen Hotels on Wednesday won a gold award in the second phase of the UK’s Golden Bean Awards for its Peach Oolong Tea Chocolate.
The annual event is held by the Academy of Chocolate to recognize the best cocoa beans and chocolate products from around the world.
The hotelier won the award in the category of “Ganache with Alcohol, Fruit, Spices and/or Other Inclusions” under “Filled Chocolates.”
It also won three silver and two bronze awards in the same category, and won another silver in the “Flavoured Dark Chocolate Bar” category under “Flavoured Chocolate Bars” for its Tieguanyin Tea Chocolate.
Meanwhile, Meiho University in Pingtung County won three silver awards in the “Flavoured” category for its 65 percent Taiwan Sun Moon Lake Black Tea Drinking Chocolate, 78 percent Taiwan Alishan Jin Xuan Tea Drinking Chocolate, and 75 percent Taiwan Charcoal Roasted Oolong Tea Drinking Chocolate.
Lin Wei-chun （林韋君）, a Taiwanese member of the Golden Bean Awards jury, said that when the academy announced its first-phase results last month, she was glad to see that ingredients from Taiwan had been used to make chocolates, saying this would help further introduce Taiwanese food products to the Western world.
Launched in 2005, the awards “sought to identify, recognize and showcase the world’s most talented chocolate producers and finest chocolates,” the academy’s Web site says.
All chocolates are graded by at least seven judges approved by the Awards Committee based on the quality of six attributes: “appearance/decorative technique,” “flavouring/formulation/concept,” “execution,” “flavour balance,” “aftertaste/finish,” and “overall impression,” the Web site says.
