CNNP (China National Native Produce) is the name for the original state-owned enterprise that controlled all the factories in China yes including Menghai TF, Kunming TF, Xiaguan TF etc..:)
Most were privatized in the 80’s and 90’s, but CNNP still operates under the China Tea (Zhong Cha) brand and still uses the classic „中 茶“ logo.
Don’t look for a famous recipe in this tea although its expression and taste show that it is a great puerh, beautifully aged and well stored, easily rivalling puerhs several times more expensive and famous from the same era. The tea was purchased in 2001 from a small factory where it was dated as late 1990s material, but the merchant who purchased the tea dates it as 2001 because that is the only certain information at the time of CNNP production. The tongas were not numbered in any way and the cakes were wrapped in a wrapper with the classic green mark (Green Mark), this mark is also moulded as a neefei into the cake. In 2011 the tea was repackaged by a Malaysian trader who had purchased the tea in 2001.
