Tea type translation needed please :3

[paulsateahead]

Hello,

I acquired this box for a friend of mine but as I don't speak Chinese I couldn't know exactly what type of tea this was. Can somebody translate me the bottom of the box?

It would be super nice!

It's 100gr of green Pu'er tea from the Liming Xinghuo Tea Factory in Menghai County, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. Produced January 5, 2011.

This tea is most commonly made in compressed round discs 饼茶 or compressed rectangular bricks 砖茶。 Since your container only contains 100 grams of tea, it might be a smaller form, such as a palm-of-the-hand-sized "bowl" of compressed tea 沱茶 (which looks like this picture.)

 

 

Or it could be small clumps of tea leaves that were chipped off a larger cake of tea. Possible, but less likely, that it is loose leaf tea. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks like it was from 2011, which makes it 8 years old. Ageing often improves quality of these "raw" Pu'er teas (like your's; it is marked 生.) So it might be real good.
