Default Jujube Fragrant Brick - anyone heard of it?

Thanks everyone for all your input on this. I'm going to try to find
some red jujube's, dried, fresh, whatever I can find, to try to
associate the aromas. Hopefully some of those other cakes on the Taobao
site will make it to my Chinatown.

I also got a tea cake that my store sold as a Menghai 7262 cake, but it
looks...strange and possibly faked. At the very least, it's been
repackaged: the cake and wrapper look new but it has the old Zhongcha
label (yellow label) with the chinese for "Menghai Puerh Tea" written
on it, and a yellow zhongcha nei fei that reads "Xishuangbanna Dai
Nationality Autonomous Region Menghai Product". I'll post a new thread
with a picture link soon.
