This lot is preserved in dry storage under excellent conditions and has substantial weight. Tong Chang Hao closed at the end of the Qing Dynasty and was rebuilt around 1921 by Zhu Guanbao, later being handed over to Huang Wenxing. Under his leadership, the scale of operations grew significantly, producing 400 dan of tea annually, comparable to renowned Che Shun Hao. Due to the exceptional quality, Tong Chang Hao was selected as a tribute tea for the imperial court. The tea cake is thick and round, meticulously crafted with flat, elongated leaves and prominent white tea buds. It also features a blue-on-white inner ticket with an early design by Huang Wenxing.
