苗栗製茶職人贏得英國美食大賞「3星級」
Taiwan Tea Wins Big at UK Competition
Tea is a big part of culture in the United Kingdom.
Tea time is not just tea time.
There's "elevenses", that's tea served at around 11 o'clock in the morning.
There's "afternoon tea", that's tea with sandwiches and maybe cakes.
And there's "high tea", that's tea with a hot meal after work.
Some even say the British are "tea people".
And now, a tea made right here in Taiwan has won a big British award.
The tea, called "Oriental Beauty Tea 1" was awarded 3 stars in the Great Taste Awards.
Three stars means something is "extraordinarily (格外的、絕頂的) tasty food".
How hard is it to get three stars?
Only 2 percent of the foods and drinks that enter the competition get 3 stars.
"Oriental Beauty Tea 1" is made by Taiwan tea maker Jacky Chang.
He makes his tea in Miaoli County.
Jacky says to make "Oriental Beauty Tea 1", he had to do something different.
Taiwan had a lot of rainy weather this year.
And Jacky had to pick his tea leaves at a different time.
Then he had to be very careful when roasting the tea leaves.
The humidity and temperature had to be carefully controlled.

Jacky says he is going to rename the tea "Queen's Garden".
He says the name is in honor of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II.

雙頭烏龜慶祝25歲生日
Two-headed Turtle Turns 25
A turtle is turning 25 years old… twice.
How can you turn 25 years old two times?
Well, this turtle has two heads!
Janus the turtle also has two hearts.
He has two pairs of lungs (肺).
Janus was born at the Geneva Natural History Museum, in Switzerland.
The museum has a team of people who take care of him.
Every day, they feed Janus organic salad.
Janus also gets daily massages (按摩).
And he takes baths in green tea and chamomile (甘菊).
The people who take care of him say he has two very different personalities (個性).
They say Janus' right head is more curious (好奇).
And his left head loves to eat.
One head's favorite food is endives (苦苣).
And the other head's favorite food is carrots.
Janus would not survive long in the wild.
That's because he cannot pull his head into his shell when he is in danger.
But luckily, he lives at the museum.
And the people there take very good care of him.
Now Janus is turning 25 years old.
雙頭烏龜Janus要慶祝他的25歲生日了。
The museum thinks he might be the world's oldest two-headed turtle.
