Hmmm, I still think you are hunting down the wrong lane...The chinese
versions (plum? prune?) are red - you said...?

No, that's not the one. Am I correct to say that Plum is the fruit and
Prune the dried or preserved version of plums? If that is so, then as I
have mentioned, it is the fragrance of black prune (It is called Wu Mei, I
think I wrote it wrongly in the previous post) that's in the tea, not the
plum essence.

Wait, the scientific name for it is called Fructus Mume, what's the
scientific name for plum? Hmmm...
