Please note:
It's made from 2016 material, but the leaves were pressed into cake in 2019 for 2020 new year sales. That’s why the wrapper shows the Year of the Rat (2020). The production date on the wrapper lists both 2016 and 2019 due to an error. The actual production year is 2016. We appreciate your understanding.
