Default Jujube Fragrant Brick - anyone heard of it?

Hey there. Another shot in the dark to see if anyone has heard of
Jujube Fragrant pu-erh. I just got a brick in chinatown. Took me an
hour or so on zhongwen to figure out what the characters meant. It says
it's from "Xishuangbanna Menghai Yong Ming Tea Factory"

I just had some gongfu style, 10s 20s 10s 30s. It's earthy and a little
flat. It's very leaf-y, with lots of papery folds of leaf, and lots of
twigs.

Anyway, I didn't taste any hint of fruit or "jujube" after four
infusions. Is this just a name or is there actually jujube fragrance in
the tea? Hrm...
