Notes#

Yunnan Sourcing explicitly dates the pressing to 2001 and describes the tight compression and flat edge of the 357 g iron cake. Teas We Like offers a 2001 8653 iron cake under the collectors’ nickname xiaoheifei. Neither page provides a shared numerical batch identifier, so the two offers should not be assumed identical in every packaging detail.

Kunming storage since 2001 is Yunnan Sourcing’s account of its own stock. Its undated “15 years” description is historical copy, not a current storage duration, and does not describe the Teas We Like lot.
