Pu-erh Golden Melon Tea Cake (Also Pu-erh Jingua Tea Cake) is a shape similar to tuocha, but larger in size with a much thicker body that is decorated with pumpkin-like "stripes". This shape was created for the famous "Tribute tea" that was made expressly for the Qing Dynasty Emperors from the best tea leaves of Yiwu Mountain. Larger speciments of this shape are sometimes called "Human-head tea" due in part to its size and shape, as well as the fact that in the past it was often presented in court in a similar manner to severed heads.
