Originating in the 1960s and 1970s, the “Old Eight Zhongcha Gongti Can Liu Bao Tea” series includes three iconic variants—Red Can, Silver Can, and Green Can—each packaged in 250g tins. As one of the earliest small-packaged Liu Bao teas designed for export, the series earned its name “Gongti Can” (Workers’ Stadium Can) from its distinctive packaging featuring Beijing’s Workers’ Stadium. The 2019 Green Can edition upholds this storied tradition, offering a masterful blend of heritage and flavor.The “Gongti Can – Green Can – 1st Grade” is a testament to the enduring allure of Liu Bao tea, delivering a multi-dimensional experience that rewards both immediate enjoyment and patient appreciation.
