This Five Roses Grade Box is issued by the prestigious Lugu Farmer’s Association Competition held every June. This is the competition that has helped define and promote the famous Dong Ding style teas worldwide. Each competition-sealed box contains 3 tins holding 200 g of tea each. Each box is sealed by the competition organizers to guarantee its authenticity. If you wish to experience drinking a tea that more than meets the Dong Ding standard but defines it, this would be it! We will be writing more on this tea shortly. In the meantime, we wanted to make it accessible as soon as we could. Very limited quantities.
This Competition Box Set kind of came and went in the same breath! We’re sorry for that. We had a fair quantity on hand but it all dissapeared in a matter of days. The only way to have a taste of this Five Roses Grade is to consider our Dong Ding Sampler Tin. We’ve also reserved some sealed box sets from the upcoming Winter Competition from the same Lugu Tea Farmer’s Association. These should be released sometime in early December, as soon as the competition is over. If you wish to reserve some or be advised of when they are made available simply drop us a line.
