The other odd thing I find puzzling about the recipe number is grading
information. I think it is more indicative of taste or leaf quality
than leaf size. So how can the grade for one factory be the same as
the grade for another? I got a tong (10x100g) bundle of cooked
Jingmai
mtn wild tree from Lancang factory. The first cake has a neifei with
just the number 5038 which I think is the recipe. The second cake
just
has the Lancang logo for the neifei. I didn't check the others. It
would be the oldest recipe I've seen and predate the modern factory
recipes from the mid seventies.

Cooked Pu-erh and 1950's doesn't add up in my books. It was "invented"
some 20 years later.
This number is probably something else; like a batch number maybe ? 5
being 2005...even then 38 batches for 1 year isn't possible....no idea
what it is.
