abcdefg Posted March 28, 2015 at 06:09 AM Report Posted March 28, 2015 at 06:09 AM Bought some Pu'er 普洱茶 last week in Menghai 勐海。Part of the label of one cake 茶饼 has me stumped. Here are photos of the front and back. I know most of what these labels say. The specific part that has me stumped is the second large character on the front. I see the large 真 and I'm guessing from context that the character below it is an artistic rendering of 味。So it would read 真味，which makes sense as a name. "Genuine Flavor" more or less. Plus I see 真味 written in a standard type font on the back. Does anyone have a different idea? Thanks in advance. Quote
imron Posted March 28, 2015 at 07:42 AM Report Posted March 28, 2015 at 07:42 AM I'm guessing Your guess is correct. That's quite a common style of writing the 口 radical。 1 Quote

abcdefg Posted March 30, 2015 at 11:02 AM Author Report Posted March 30, 2015 at 11:02 AM Yes, Lu, it sure does. Haha! I had not noticed that. When the tea cake is viewed life size on my table, the 口 just looks like two short brush strokes. Quote
