The product has a tightly compressed, well-formed shape, moderate and uniform thickness, a dark, lustrous color, and visible white down (hao). After brewing, the tea liquor is a bright orange-yellow color, with a pure and rich aroma, a mellow and refreshing taste, and a long-lasting sweet aftertaste. This product is the first edition Song He (Crane) Label (no code) 8653 Iron Cake produced by the Xiaguan Tea Factory after its restructuring in 2004, making it an excellent choice for both drinking and collecting.
