This tea is produced by the Xiaguan Tea Factory in Yunnan Province of China, Zhongcha Brand Iron Tea Cake printed in Traditional Chinese Characters. It was produced in the 1980s.

The outer wrapping paper of tea products is packaged with checkered paper, which follows the Chinese tea brand design of Xiaguan Tea Factory. The script is also called "Chinese Tea Brand Traditional Chinese" discus because of the traditional Chinese characters. The 8653 tea cake body is slightly smaller than the Kunming discus, and is blended with grade 5 Lincang tea cyanine according to the traditional recipe. The color is wine red, the scent of the old is mixed with camphor, the taste is soft and delicate, and the tea is thick.

Brewing Hints

Break off a well-sized portion of tea leaves from the tea cake, add to brewing vessel until ¼ filled. Pour in freshly boiled water at 85°C-95°C and drain the tea infusion immediately. 1st brew is not for drinking, the purpose is for the tea leaves to unfurl and moisten. This helps release the full flavour of tea for a satisfying brew.

For 2nd brew, refill the brewing vessel with about 30 Seconds to extract the full flavour. Pour and Serve. It is good for several brews. Re-steep the leaves in a similar manner to enjoy the tea as it develops from steep to steep; continue re-steeping until the leaves are exhausted of flavour.

In recent years, "88 Qing Bing" generally refers to the old state-run Menghai Tea Factory standard export "7542" raw tea cakes produced from 1989 to 1992. The tea products are centered in Hong Kong, spread across China, Macau, Taiwan and Southeast Asia in a full circle. There were numerous batches of tea products during this period. Among them, they were stored in natural dry warehouses for decades, resulting in a strong and long-lasting tea aroma. The tea infusion is red and bright, and the first sip rich in layers. The tea rhyme and vintage taste makes people attached.

In recent years, because many collectors competed to this tea and the prices are high, the "88 Green Puer" have become legends and auction darlings. The name is believed to be "88 Green", which is based on the auspicious meaning of Hong Kong tea merchants who enjoy tea. "88 Qing Bing" was initially wrapped with thick paper version, but it was evolved with a thin paper version, and paperless 88 Qing Bing. This was due to the cross-strait import and export customs restrictions (mainly Taiwan) which requires tea to be in a bare package; some shops in the early years removed the outer wrapping paper and the inner ticket for sale due to circumstances and needs. TeaX carefully selects this tea from the Purple Cane Malaysian Storage collection. Today, the store opens for tea fanatics.
