Review 1970 Iron Cake Beeng Cha 330g - Antique Tea Leaves / Generation Tea:

This rare and classic cake was made during the Cultural Revolution in the early 1970's. It is a Green Aged Pu-erh that has matured over the years. The fine mellowed taste is a real prize or special gift tea. About 330 grams. This cake was shipped to Hong Kong back in the 1970's and has the Simplified Characters on the wrappers. They call these Iron Cakes because they are compressed by machine under heavy iron molds to form the cakes. The wrappers are in great shape considering the age of this tea. It has been well preserved in dry storage. This early production was done in the Kunming Factory. Can be infused many times and is one of the best known old cakes out there. [+]

Review 1970's Tong Xing Hao Beeng Cha Tea Leaves - Vintage Pu-erh Teas / Generation Tea:

The Tong Xing Hao Beeng Cha leaf is a Grade 3, Large Leaf variety, which is exceptional for Beeng Cha's. The hue is considered brown and raw (not cooked or black). The taste is known for its sublime smoothness and woody aftertaste. The leaves may be infused many times, for superb cups of tea each time. Only time and expert production can produce a tea of this class. In addition, the rice paper wrapping is hand embossed in the chop fashion. Note that the lettering is very faded on all these cakes, but the tea is clean. Each cake weighs about 380 g. This tea is truly intoxicating and rare. The resplendent Pu-erh tea was grown and produced in the Chinese town of Yi Wu. [+]
Since the factory it was produced in was established in 1733, it was called the Tong Shun Xiang Hao. This tea survived the Chinese Cultural Revolution of the late 1960s when the only family that knew the secrets of making it sought asylum in Thailand. A historical relic and cultural survivor, Tong Xing Hao Beeng Cha is not only an antique tea, but a treasure and a survivor as well! Pinyin which literally mean phonetic sound in Chinese is exactly how this spectacular tea received its equally spectacular name. The name was simply transliterated from Chinese ideograms into the Latin alphabet. Thus, Tong Xiang Hao Hou Qi Yuan Cha is this teas name and Pinyin! It means that the tea leaves are compressed, it dates from the 1970s and the Pu-erh was aged using a special process.

Review 1973 Cultural Revolution Brick of Tea Leaves - Vintage Pu-erh Teas / Generation Tea:

The 1973 Cultural Revolution Brick is also known as the 1973 Thick Brick because it is notably more substantial than its contemporary Pu-erh teas. This rare and desirable brick is from the first year of production of the 7581 bricks. Experts note that its complex taste has never been successfully duplicated. Perfect for drinking with dim sum meals, or for sharing with the best of company. Helps in digestion. Considered a medicinal tea in China, this Pu-erh is believed to reduce cholesterol levels and aid in weight loss. Pu-erh teas are aged before they are consumed, unlike other teas which are meant to be consumed shortly after production. Pu-erh teas are at least 1-4 years old, but can also be aged for more than 50 years! Over this time, Pu-erh teas ferment, which leads to their earthy flavor, as opposed to the flavor of oolong or black teas, which comes from oxidation. Pu-erh teas are unique among tea varieties because they do not lose qualities after a year or two, but rather gain in value, and are classified by connoisseurs by year of production.
