Kang Brick Tea

Kang Brick Tea

　　Originally produced by state-owned tea farms (factories) in Ya'an, Yibin, Jiangjin, and Wanxian in Sichuan, with an annual output of nearly 10,000 tons. Each Kang Brick Tea weighs 0.5 kilograms. The bricks are round-cornered and pillow-shaped, with dimensions of 17x9x6 cm. The quality characteristics of Kang Brick Tea include a brownish appearance, pure aroma, mellow taste, deep red liquor, and relatively coarse, mixed leaf base. Kang Brick Tea is mainly sold in western Sichuan and Tibet, centered around Kangding and Lhasa. Southern Road Brick Tea is a type of compressed tea produced in Sichuan and specifically marketed to Tibetan regions. In the past, it was divided into six varieties: Maojian, Yaxi, Kang Brick, Jinyu, and Jincang, but now it has been simplified to two varieties: Kang Brick and Jinqian.
