We've gone over this before in detail. They use it for advertisement
mostly; not saying anything about the tea specifically. Another friend
of mine told me that it could have been a mistake made at the factory
when they were producing the packages. Factory workers have been known
to make mistakes in lettering. Another example of this is the "Cinese
Hotel" here in the Houjie district...they tried to play it off by
saying they meant to mean it as like Sino or something.

My Taiwanese pals tell me that Baozhong tea is the most low quality tea
that they produce in Taiwan. Not sure if this is true or not. They
also said it was mostly meant for export. heh.
