A Bag of Pu-er Tea, Circa 1970s
ESTIMATE:HK$ 500,000 - 900,000

Category: Raw Puer Tea
Quantity: Original Packaging
Total Weight: Approx. 40.9kg(include Packaging)
This lot comes in its original bag and weighs about 40.9kg with packing. The tea leaves are long and slender, with many fine stems. During the mid-20th century, Hong Kong tea houses would purchase large amounts of loose tea and store them in warehouses, which were later released to the market in the late 1990s. After aging, the tea has developed a pure yet full-bodied flavor with a strong medicinal aroma and a plum camphor note, accompanied by a sweet, lasting aftertaste.
