Help identifying pu'er? Taetea, Menghai, Yunnan.
 | Hello experts! My mother recently went to visit some friends in Hong Kong, who gifted her this pu'er cake. Tea for her is a builder's with milk and a sweetener, so she gave it to me, knowing that I prefer green and white teas. Before she sent it to me, I asked her on the phone what kind of tea it was, and she said it was jasmine. "If it's in a cake, is it pu'er?" I asked, but she didn't know what that was. In any case, I know about some factories mimicking the famous Red Label wrapping, but my Chinese can only take me so far, and I wondered whether anyone might be able to narrow this down for me? Thank you! EDIT: I'm having trouble uploading an image of the cake itself, but the label is almost completely covered with compressed leaves in any case. EDIT2: I finally got a picture of the cake to load! UPDATE: I've realised why I was having so much trouble identifying some of the characters - the wrapping is the wrong way around! I've found a matching paper here: [link] [comments] |
