Historical Legacy:
The "Old Eight Zhongcha Gongti Can Liu Bao Tea" series, originating in the 1960s and 1970s, includes three iconic variants—Red Can, Silver Can, and Green Can—each packaged in 250-gram tins. As one of the earliest small-packaged export versions of Liu Bao tea, the series earned its name "Gongti Can" (Workers’ Stadium Can) due to its distinctive design featuring Beijing’s Workers’ Stadium.
In 2016, Wuzhou Zhongcha Tea Co., Ltd. reintroduced this classic series with the "Old Eight Zhongcha Gongti Can (Red Can) 2016 Reissue," capturing a century of traditional export Liu Bao tea flavors in a single cup as a tribute to tea lovers worldwide. Building on this legacy, the 2021 edition—"Old Eight Zhongcha Gongti Can (Red Can) 2021 Reissue"—was launched with resounding acclaim. This release not only honors decades of craftsmanship but also embraces innovation.
