The competition was held on November 7 at our campus, bringing together 101 contestants from colleges across Qingdao to compete and exchange skills.
Aligned with national, provincial and municipal competition standards, the event consisted of a preliminary round and a final round.
The preliminary written test focused on tea sample identification, examining contestants’ knowledge of tea varieties and origins.
In the final round of standard tea art performance, contestants drew lots to prepare and present one type of tea from black tea, green tea and oolong tea. Their practical skills, etiquette and overall performance were assessed. After impartial evaluation by judges, 10 winners were selected for each of the first, second and third prizes.
The School of Hospitality Management made thorough preparations for the event. During the competition, all staff worked in coordination to ensure smooth on-site management and orderly operation.
Hosting the competition embodies our philosophy of “Enterprises set questions, schools and enterprises work out answers together, and the market evaluates outcomes”. It offers a high-quality platform for colleges in Qingdao to exchange tea art skills and improve teaching through competitions.
Th college will further advance teaching reform, promote learning, training and major development via skill contests, improve the training quality of the Tea Art and Culture programme, and cultivate more high-calibre skilled talents for the high-quality development of the local tea industry.
