Menghai 7262 - A fake or just an anomaly?

The pricetag and the receipt list the item as "Menghai 7262 Puerh Cake." My doubts about this a 1) It seems like a new-ish cake, and I don't recall Menghai using the zhongcha label for the past few years...? 2) The Zhongcha label has a new feature I've never seen, the characters: "勐海普洱茶" Menghai Puerh Tea, which I've never seen on a zhongcha label before. I've looked around online and can't find it. 3) It was repackaged in Macau by Keng Vai Agencia, so who knows where it came from! BUT 4) The Nei Fei looks right for Menghai. So...have any of you seen such a Zhongcha label before, with those added characters? In your guess, a fake Menghai or just one that was repackaged for sale in the US? |
