The Household Names Collector adds another form of stored tea to a personal glossary. After the rectangular brick, a compact cylinder of huajuan in a woven bamboo casing has caught the character’s interest: the small 十两茶 format. The character examines the edge of the wrapping and the dark compressed tea inside.
