Term · Market

financial tea

Literal meaning

finance tea

Definition#

Tea traded as a financial asset rather than a drink: brand cakes held unopened and traded on daily quotes, often forward on delivery slips with long and short positions. The term is tied to Dayi trading in Fangcun; collapses such as 仓颉号 (2021) and 昌世 (2023) led to regulatory and police action.
