'Tibetan' jincha
One often sees reference to Jincha or mushroom shaped tea referred to as
'Tibetan'. Why Tibetan ? Is is just that this shape was marketed at Tibetan consumers; or did the shape actually originate in Tibet; or was tea itself a style preferred by the Tibetan people ? Tried to find some answers on my day off yesterday, but nothing much cropped up. TIA Cheers Mal Ox

'Tibetan' jincha
The mushroom shape may be something else. See a previous thread
"Unknown puer architecture". The XiaGuan brand name is "precious flame" which also has been discussed.
