Re: CNNP teas and State factory teas

Velych thank you for re-explaining your point! I wish I had your luck finding these teas. I regularly come across CNNP tin cans in Finland but they are always empty. At most there is some tea dust in the bottom. The first half of the 1990s was a difficult time for export businesses, and production ...

Re: CNNP teas and State factory teas

Another pack of tea bags that I got. Unlike the tin, this pack didn't retain any of the jasmine scent.

Re: CNNP teas and State factory teas

There is only the designation "U303". What kind of tea could this be? Most likely the same as the U302 which Chawangshop used to sell. Finely broken leaf that steeps very fast. ./download/file.php?id=15642 Excellent specimen! And it has Russian markings - it was exported to the USSR or already to t...

Re: CNNP teas and State factory teas

The other day I was lucky enough to buy a box of tea. And I bought it in passing, while searching for Soviet tea artifacts. Well, a box is a box, we'll figure it out later.

Re: CNNP teas and State factory teas

Hello everyone Great topic, lots of new information. The day before yesterday, I was lucky enough to get this kind of tea.. Green jasmine tea from the Fujian branch of CNNP. I carefully date it as 1988-1991 (the seller claims that it was before 1990, we need to find out why, by the way). The conside...
