Ding Xing Tea House, founded by Ma Dingchen, was established in Menghai, producing mainly Ding Xing Pu-er tea cake and Jincha. This nearly century-old lot is well-preserved in natural or mild dry storage. The tea cake is made from tender Yiwu tea leaves harvested before the rainy season, resulting in a fragrant tea soup that is thick and slightly sweet, with a hint of wild camphor fragrance. This lot is considered even more precious as there are limited remains nowadays.
