Can someone explain to me what the blue thought bubble looking symbol with a large S and numbers underneath after QS mean on a lot of the Pu-Erh tea packaging? Is this some standardized labeling system?
I bought a Pu-Erh tea cake from a local tea shop and then did some digging online and found another with different looking packaging but exactly the same the QS number. The reason I ask is that the one I bought from local tea shop was $280 while the one I found at Yunnan sourcing is $46.
It might not be clear in the picture, but the number is QS 5328 1301 0143 on both of them (if that helps).
Thanks for the help!

The QS mark is a standardised quality and safety mark in China. The numbers below is basically a registration number of the manufacturer. See this wikipedia page:
