I know you asked for the "smart people" but I thought I would chime in
anyway.

"Bo Nay" is another term for Puerh, it is a term often used in Dim Sum
restaurants. I do not recognize the brand or the logo but it is vaguely
reminiscent of cakes I saw in some Hong Kong stores. Judging from the
photos your cake is definitely a Shu/Black/Cooked/Ripe Puerh.
