(International folks please feel free to reach out about shipping cost)

and so the people spoke, $50 was an acceptable buy in so LP bought twice the amount of ‘four am’ from Mr. 2Dog for the upcoming 2018 Sheng Olympiad. Months went by and just 24 hours before posting information to the event a month earlier than last year because of request and logistics, money had already been figured out, something had moved me to reach out to somebody and so I did. The result of reaching out to that person (Phillip) ended up resulting in me investing in his new company and in return gifting everyone else who is part of the event; it must also be noted that Phillip is also paying a porition of everyone’s cost for the additional samples to. There might be 2 or 3 teas from Yiwu Mountain Tea added to every single package which for some will be a complete surprise because not everyone reads the info here!

So one of the coolest parts about this year’s event is being able to purchase the maocha in advance which opened up the ability to have some more exclusive touches to this event. Those exclusive items include the WMD ball, four am pill, Slumbering Dragon ball, and selected Jingmai tree balls.

The first… with many fun conversations revolving around some ‘stuff’ and an awesome YouLe vertical tasting between 2005/2009/2015. Never forget the TU Bang Wei… never. A wonderful year that lead to a lot of learning when it comes to logistics. This event also brought about some great exposure for what I do.

Second year was a whole new game. The beginning of this post has pictures on what goes into making this event happen which has resulted in the way I do things now; talking 60hours of packing before. The focus here was on Bang Dong and it was the year I… got special balls made; Cywn keeps an eye on my balls https://deathbytea.blogspot.com/2017/01/bang-dong-and-balls-sheng-olympics-2017.html

Not to mention this was the year I was able to help lend a hand to Bitter Leaf Teas as they were somewhat new! This year the total count went from 50 to 100 and it led to less pictures and write ups to more time focused on reaching out to people and my relationships and personal research on material and the potential for everything else I am hoping to do for/with the community.

a few more places to look:

2018 includes stuff from White2Tea, Bitter Leaf Teas, Crimson Lotus Tea, Yang Qing Hao, Yiwu Mountain Tea, and Farmer Leaf Teas. A total of 100’ish grams here for each package… there’s so much more I could write about, but I am really hoping all the conversations cover about everything I could say.

Please ask questions!

The 90 to 100 slots will go fast, but if you know of any blogger/youtuber/someone you would like to cover this event please let me know. I am all about exposure as this event grows I know I can figure out something to involve more as puerh becomes a hobby for more and more!

If I missed something feel free to add it, this event is for you all and the best part about it is the friendships made, the knowledge gained through the resources that are found through it, and the overall community coming together to drink the same great stuff that I stand behind as being fantastic sessions!

PS!!! Please spread the word!!!
