Default Pu-erh Factory Mystery

Lincang Mengku is Shuangjiang Mengku which produces Rong Shi Qi Ai:

5317930004):

You can find Shuangjiang Mengku on TaoBao. I don't have any logos in
my culled Shuangjian collection that you describe. If you can post a
picture I might find it on TaoBao with some particulars. There is a
separate Lincang tea factory.
