This lot is in excellent condition, weighing a substantial 359g. The tea cake has a shiny surface and clear strips, with a faintly visible inner ticket buried deep within. It bears a tag applied by a tea house in Hong Kong for identification. The tea has a bright red color and a slightly medicinal fragrance, leaving a long and sweet aftertaste. Red Label Song Pin Hao represents the highest grade of Pu-er tea, known as the tea king, and its rarity makes it highly coveted. In 1912, due to the Simao plague, Qian Li Zhen joined Song Pin Hao though marriage, becoming Qian Li Zhen Song Pin Hao. While Song Pin Hao excelled in tea making, Qian Li Zhen excelled in management. Along with Tong Qing Hao and Tong Xing Hao, they formed a formidable trio and opened up branches across the country, including a Hong Kong branch for overseas orders.
