another ripe cake query.
notice on the front of the box at the bottom it says :
ART. NO. S301.
do you guys think that this means that this cake was from 2003, the first batch?
what does the S mean?
i just grabbed this ripe pu and i can't find any date anywhere. not even on the wrapper. actually, the line where the manufacturing date is supposed to be is empty :
notice the very last line having an empty space where a date is supposed to be or even the year of this cake was made.

I suppose there isn't any web address on the container. I've heard good things about some of the Golden Sail products, and have one of them on my list for my next order from Puerhshop.
Where did you get? A local store or on the Web?
Sorry I can't help. Seems you should be able to contact the company somehow, but I wasn't able to find a web presence for them in a quick Google search.

i know that cake you mentioned, it's a raw one, mine is a ripe one.TomVerlain wrote:royalpuer.com has this to say:
Guangdong Tea Import and Export Co. Ltd. was established in 1952 and has since won many awards for its quality products. In 1965, it created the "Golden Sail Brand" or "Jin Fan" trademark to use in all its products. Guang Yun Gong Pu'er remains one of its best known product.
your cake looks a REAL LOT like this:
