During the mid-Qing Dynasty, the Song family established Song Pin Hao Teahouse, specializing in tea, while merchant Zhao Kaiqian opened Qian Li Zhen, dealing in everything from tea to health supplements. In 1917, the two businesses merged, becoming known as Qian Li Zhen Song Pin Hao. While Song Pin specialized in tea production, Qian Li Zhen excelled in management, establishing its status as the "Tea King" of antique Pu-er teas. This lot showcases the standard Song Pin Hao blend, meticulously crafted from the large-leaf varietal of Yibang in Yunnan, featuring a glossy surface, robust stems, and golden buds. The stems are predominantly pressed at the bottom to aid fermentation, with only a small amount of buds sprinkled on top. The inner ticket is buried within the tea cake, with faintly visible characters for "Spring Tips" and graphics. This lot features a label with the famous tea master Mr. Bai Shuiqing's handwriting: "Exceptional Song Pin Hao from the Late Qing Dynasty". This century-old Song Pin Hao is a classic example of its kind, making it highly valuable and rare.
