"The story behind The Real Tea Man wrapper

The wrapper design was done by the wife of Cui Lei, a famous Chinese jade carver. She originally painted an image of Tony on a white T-shirt with an iphone in his hand, and if you look closely at the phone you can see a screen with Wechat messages - he uses Wechat to text with his contacts in Yunnan. She also painted a Xizihao Gongting Puerh tea cake near the bottom of the painting.

Mr Chen was very touched by the artwork and produced a tea cake with the painting as the wrapper design, and named it 品真茶人 or The Real Tea Man. This is the third edition out of the 4 which were produced in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016."
