Try Floating Leaves Competition Baozhong.
Hi Uncle Larry,
Thanks for the comment. We haven’t had the Competition Baozhong from this season, but Shiuwen told me she sent us her favorites from each category. Meaning she actually prefers the Farmer’s Choice. I agree though, would be an interesting comparison.
Cheers,

in the dark!

Hi Xav,
Thanks for the comment. Good point!

Zheng Tianfu is one of the greatest virtuosos of tea production alive… If not the greatest, given his range. If you have the opportunity, try his yearly puerh. Even the budget one is tremendous.
Hi Puyuan,
Thanks for the comment and the note. I must confess that I didn’t even read the vendor description before doing this tasting!
I will certainly keep that name in mind for the future.
Cheers,

Where else can I find his tea?
Hi Zach,
If you search on Taobao you can. It also looks Tea Urchin just relisted this tea too. http://teaurchin.com/lao-jizi-bao-zhong.html
