[Canned large convex tea]
Canned large convex tea, in the late Qing Dynasty, was 22.7 cm high, 19.8 cm long and 8.5 cm wide
Tea is made of tender leaves, with neat strings and fine processing. It is packed in tin cans. According to the name, it is suspected to be scented tea. The tea packaging is exquisite. The front, side and top of the tin can are respectively decorated with plum blossom, pine tree, deer, bat and other patterns. The echo of pine tree and deer, bat patterns and other patterns imply longevity and official wealth. The tin material is cool and has the characteristics of fast heat dissipation, so the folk have the saying that “(tea) receives precious tin bottles”, “but the fragrance can be stored in tin bottles”, and “the tea must be stored in tin bottles, so the color and fragrance of the tea will remain the same after years”. The high-quality packaging and delicious tea complement each other, reflecting the taste of the court in choosing tea
