You peaked my curiosity by your description. I just don't go
fluttering around on the Internet by any ole url mentioned here. I
have a 15+ year old similar colored box that is round with single
large cone. It still has a strong smell. Mine uses THE with accent
over e. It had a large seal with 'THE yunnan Tuocha.' It is from
China National Native Produce and Animal By-Products Yunnan Tea
Branch. Back then it was $1.99. I remember when I first saw puerh in
the stores in the mid eighties. I thought it cheap, subpar,
substandard, medicinal for loose leaf variety. I never cracked my
compressed tuocha. I still have puerh tins from then. I have a 20
year old cake somewhere. Am I stitting on a gold mine?
