________________________________
"T8613" (Iron Cake 8613) is pressed into hard cake and difficult to pry and dissolve even in boiling water. But it slows the aging speed and well preserves the original tea fragrance.
General version "8613" is not so hard like Iron Cake version but varies on hardness in each year and keeps moving on to more looseness in recent years.
