Wenshan Bao Zhong Competition Tea is a sought after tea season after season. Spring and Winter offerings are the preferred productions. When it comes to winter offerings from Mr. Ong, our long time contributor, we're continuing with what has become a tradition now. Since we know he reserves all his best tea for the Competition, we waited for his beautifully packaged Competition Grade Tea to arrive. Mr. Ong's tea always makes it to the finals and this Finalist Grade tea is offered at price that is similar to his seasonal bulk tea offerings! If you liked any of our bulk lots from Mr. Ong including this spring's Lot 1224, you're in for a treat with this one. Buying Competition Tea in boxes or canisters sealed by the organizers of the competition is certainly an assurance that you are getting authentic Bao Zhong tea that meets the quality standard in taste, production practices and growing standards that have made the reputation of this type of tea internationally. If this is your first time trying out a Bao Zhong, you simply can't go wrong with this Competition Tea. For those of you who are tempted but need to be convinced, we recommend that you purchase a 15 g sample before committing to one of the tins or box sealed by the competition organizers. What beautiful gifts these can make! Purchasers of the box set of two 150 g tins will also receive a matching Gift Bag.
