[0002] Tea cakes, also known as cake tea or round tea, originated in the Song Dynasty. They were first made when Ding Wei was an official in Fujian and were exclusively for the imperial court. Tea cakes are printed with dragon and phoenix patterns. The tea cake production process has undergone a historical evolution from adding spices to not adding spices. The main tea cake production technology used in modern times is Pu'er tea, which can better bring out the unique flavor of Pu'er tea that becomes more fragrant as it ages.
