Green Mark
Literal meaning
green print / green mark
Definition#
Green Mark: 1950s state-era pu'er cakes whose 中茶 logo has the central 茶 in green, attributed by L&H Auction to Menghai. It is treated as a sister of Red Mark; a former-factory account finds the difference between the two hard to pin down. Variants include Green Mark in large characters.

Common confusions#
- Since most 中茶 logos already show a green 茶, "Green Mark" means a specific 1950s wrapper series, not any wrapper with a green character.
