This lot has been preserved in traditional Hong Kong storage. Made from Yiwu large-leaf tea leaves and pressed with a metal mold, the cake is as firm as iron, with a flat back and indentation marks. Due to its density, it ages more slowly. After 70 years of traditional Hong Kong storage, it retains a robust taste and still has room for further transformation. The tea cake is not in its original packaging and shows signs of water exposure on the surface.
