One of the pioneers in bringing puerh tea to the Singapore market. The business in Singapore was run by two brothers and their father was based in Hong Kong. Although they sold other tea, they were the major importer of the black tea such as puerh, liubao and liu ann. They supplied a lot of these tea to restaurants here. I had the opportunity to know the younger brother quite well and got myself acquainted with this excellent tea. I also had the opportunity to collect a lot of these tea at affordable prices. The company is located in the China town area in Singapore.
The tea cakes shown here have the wrappers that bear the shop's logo. The tea cakes are Guangyun tea cakes from the early 1980s. The merchant was trying to sell the tea with its own label and trade mark, a common practice here to establish itself in the tea market.
