Grand Tea sells a 1970's yellow label which they say is 70% green
and 30% black. This is very curious. If they mean wet and dry
stored, then *perhaps* they refer to your description of years
above. Or perhaps they mean exactly what they say. I've tasted this
tea on several occasions and I don't believe that there is truly 30%
*cooked* leaf.

You mean you think they wet-stored some loose leaf and dry-stored some
loose leaf and pressed a mixture?
