Notes#
The seller’s wrapper photograph shows 250 g and the Yunnan provincial tea branch of the China National Native Produce and Animal By-products Import and Export Corporation. That company label does not identify a manufacturing plant, and no readable year or batch code is visible on the photographed front. The familiar trade name is retained without treating it as proof of production at the historical Kunming factory.
The claim that this brick predates a post-1999 recipe change is the seller’s account. A factory document, dated packaging or a documented chain of custody would be needed to verify the year and manufacturing history independently.
