历时半年创饮大赛,不料总决赛出现意外,出现两大高手“并列第一”。经组委会与评委团反复商议,决定临时加赛一场。最终,来自湖南的一位首次参加快报杯比赛的选手获得全国总冠军。
随着冠军奖的最后颁出,2018快报杯中国创意饮品大赛(上海)总决赛今天完美收官。邹倩、张阅霞、马陈静凭借勤力、智慧,以及对饮品和市场的前瞻、独到的理解获得年度荣耀,分获冠亚季军。这一跨越6个月的国内茶饮界的年度盛事也宣告圆满划上了句号。



初赛环节,我们一如鼓励选手天马行空的创意,因为只有仰望星空,才能领悟和找寻到未来前行的智慧、方向和力量。
纵观初赛,呈现出三处亮点,也被认为是国内茶饮未来几年大概率的主流和趋势:
01返璞归真,要一杯纯净的奶茶近年来,为了迎合年轻消费者,颜值和口感上做加法,成为时髦,但我们在总决赛上看到,这种迹象已在衰减。
多款取材简单、主线突出的饮品获得了高分,例如40号选手马陈静的作品《江南》,还有21号选手宋凯的作品《南姜》。

古茗联合创始人、评委阮俢迪,巡茶创始人、评委谭智文认为,研发人要对产品的原物料有深层次的了解,而不是为了拼搭而拼搭,为了创新而创新。
原物料用得过多,产品的主线不突出,形成不了1+1>2,反而会为饮品减分。

茶颜悦色创始人、评委吕良,鹿角巷创始人、评委邱茂庭也认为,如果一杯饮品什么都想表现,就模糊了重点。在原物料的添加上,不能加分的东西要舍弃,要寻求最简单的化学反应。

02品类之间的解构重组、跨界和复合Coco都可产品研发负责人、评委林静贤认为,咖啡与茶的结合,咖啡与酒的结合,咖啡与醋的结合……通过不同品类的解构重组、跨界和复合,演化和生发出新的饮品,选手们的这种做法值得肯定。这也被业界认为是一种趋势。


03健康消费升级的背后是健康要求的提高。在大赛中,健康理念和相关应用已随处可见,例如,在食材的选取上,更多地道、有机和天然果蔬被青睐;
在原物料的应用上,很多代糖原料以及手工熬制的风糖浆味被用到;此外,在制作工艺和手法上,无添加、手作、天然萃取等被大量应用,春水堂上海最高主管、评委许瑞鼎对此予以肯定。
进入复赛环节的前10名选手,大都为在以上三个方面表现优秀,被评委给予高分和好评。


今年的总决赛,我们对复赛赛制规则进行了调整:在初赛环节输出创意的前提和基础上,复赛强调饮品的落地性和实用性。
进入复赛的10名选手需要选用赞助商的原物料做一杯热水果茶和一杯烧仙草奶茶,以检验和考查选手的基本功,还有换位消费者和市场的角度来把握饮品研发的实操能力。

我们来看看冠军的获奖作品,特别是在热水果制作上,有什么禀赋和品质获得如此殊荣。
众所周知,热水果茶难做,这是行业的痛点,原因在于:高温下,会出现酸、苦、涩,水果的原有风味不易体现。
但热水果茶有市场需求,在水果茶被消费者追捧、市场热卖的大背景下,人们希望在冬季喝上一杯热水果茶。所以,它的破题,有着很高的市场价值。

一杯上佳的热水果茶,其标准何在?好不好喝,首当其冲。要点在水果、茶与其他原物料的均衡和协调。饮品要主线分明,重点突出。
制作上,水果的选择首先要熟悉和注意食材的属性与搭配;茶叶、果汁、水果的吻合性至关重要;为了增加风味,果汁茶与的搭配上,需要协调。此外,温度和糖度也很重要。

冠军邹倩的热水果茶作品名为《重拾》,水果选材为常见的水果:苹果、橙子和凤梨,茶基底选择了香妃茉莉和黑乌龙。
评委阮俢迪点评,选手在制作过程中,始终使用了甜度计,其对饮品的用心和专注值得大为称赞。该款饮品在果味和茶味上达到了很好的融合、协调和均衡,二者互相烘托,但主线突出,层次分明。

加赛pk环节,邹倩的心水饮品选用了天聪燕麦、红豆、烧仙草冻,帮利白毫茉莉、金骏眉、kerry32A、好成蔗糖、黑白淡奶。最终一举夺冠。
获得冠军后,同时被广州市天聪食品有限公司聘为研发顾问。
观察整个总决赛,我们也看到了一些问题,以供业界思考:
茶为茶饮的原点,整个行业对茶的重视和尊重不够。
吕良认为,“茶”是茶饮的本原,也是核心。一款好的茶饮产品要回归茶的本质,要熟悉茶产地、生长环境以及其他的茶文化。许瑞鼎认为,选手普遍对茶叶的品性认知和冲泡技能训练不足,也是整个行业存在问题,这严重影响了茶饮的更好更高发展。

随着台湾奶茶企业对国外市场的教育,更多的国内茶饮品牌已经走向国外,但茶饮输出的背后和本质是文化的售卖。
谭智文认为,咖啡之所以能够走遍地球,成为全球性的饮品,得益于像星巴克这样的企业在文化软实力上的推动。新中式茶饮如何能够做到?需要学习的地方很多很多,特别是对于茶饮品牌,尤为重要。
