To celebrate the release of the Gong Fu Code, we are ending the year with a HUGE Competition. We will be giving one lucky winner EVERY SINGLE TEA CAKE RELEASED IN 2020. That includes Raw PuErh, Ripe PuErh and Aged White Teas (including a possible Jade Star V).
The Gong Fu Code is much more than a tea tray to us. It represents our foundational intention to bring the positivity of tea to more people's lives. Tea is transformative and revelatory - it inspires, calms and elevates us all to a happier and healthier way of living. It represents the CODE of living - a set of principals which tea inspires in us.
If you would like to learn more about the Gong Fu Code then check out the tray and watch the video.
So, we are asking you to share with us what Gong Fu Tea means to YOU. Which life principles has tea taught you or reminds you of every you time you brew?
Below you can read some quotes which I have written and a picture that we have taken to complement the quote. We are asking you to write your personal quote and take a picture to share with us - an opportunity for you to be creative and celebrate tea.
The quote has to be original but it can be simple, humorous, casual or ANYTHING as long as it is a personal representation of your Gong Fu Code. The picture has to be original and should complement the quote.
The winner will be selected by our tea community from our shortlist of 20 entries. The shortlist will be compiled by Mei Leaf staff. We will be sharing the entries for a week of voting and the most loved quote/picture will win.
Let's sprinkle the world with tea positivity as we move into 2020 - so get creative and share your love of the Good Stuff!

On 9th January the winners and runners up will be selected based on the average rating. In the event of a tie on rating the highest number of votes wins, in the event of another tie, the Mei Leaf staff will choose a winner.
