In the 1930s, Ke Yi Xing created the 375g (10 taels) bricks to facilitate transportation, the number "ten" representing wishes for unity, harmony and happiness. These 375g tea bricks are unique in Pu-er tea history, differing from the more common 250g bricks that emerged later. Made from thick, coarse spring leaves, these bricks are considered a prime example of black Pu-er. Due to limited qualities, Xiang Tea House is often referred to as the "King of Tea Bricks". Up to this day, Ke Yi Xing remains the only raw tea brick in the market. After aging in dry storage, the brew offers a smooth taste with a chestnut aroma and lingering sweetness, making it highly collectible and valuable. Since 1927, the quantity of Ke Yi Xing has dwindled significantly; only three batches remained 15 years ago, totaling 480 pieces. It is believed that only a few dozen remain today, making them a treasured piece of history and art.
