Tea Mirror Competition

As the year 2018 enters its final quarter, it is time for our Grand Annual Competition & Giveaway.

Last year's Alpaca Challenge set the bar really high - we were blown away by the creative force of the global Teahead community, as we watched our social feeds turning into a psychedelic zoo for over a month. Now, we want to streamline that amazing creative vibe into a more reflective dimension and get to know you, dear Teaheads, in a fun and playful way.

Welcome to our

2018 TEA MIRROR CHALLENGE!

Guys, we got a bit tea drunk on Gushu the other night, as we came up with this competition idea, so bear with us and you will be rewarded with laughs and mad prizes if you do! :) Let's go!
