Thank you, Grasshopper and Lewis! Yes, the resemblance of the wet leaves is
striking, so it is almost certainly the same tea.

Lewis, I would also describe the taste of this tea as nasty and weird. Quite
the opposite of what the reviewers say at the Royal Puer site.

Maybe it's a compressed version of Ya Bao. Here's a link:

I agree on the resemblance. And when I had a chance to taste Yabaocha
a while ago, I found it kind of nasty in a way that made me doubt it
really was Camellia sinensis, which is what the original poster was
saying. Please note that I'm not saying it isn't tea, just that it's
... weird.
