If you have never had Baozhong before, it is much better to start with the Competition Baozhong! 2026 marks the 8th year in a row that we have been have been lucky enough to carry this wonderful tea. 2026’s pick is no different than any of the many years that we have been lucky enough to drink this legendary Baozhong. It is a spectacular mix of fresh grass, buttery floral and lingering sweet fruit. There is a good reason that ‘connections’ are the only way to get this tea.

Processed in the old style with all the perfections and imperfections intact, this is a connoisseur's tea.
