Identifying My Puerh Purchase

by Chargerucd » Dec 7th, '15, 23:41

Hello,
At the beginning of the year, I was in Shanghai in business.
I wanted to purchase my first cake in China, but while at the trip, I didn't get a chance to go out and look around tea shops.
So I ended up buying this from the hotel gift shop.
Does anyone recognize the brand?
When I first drank the tea it tasted fishy to me so I put it away as it was recommended in other postings.
I want to see if anyone can tell me anything on this.
Thanks
