Single stamp no barcode version

TSH says:

"There are many batches and versions of Brown Changtai. Among them, the "Single Heavenly Script, No Barcode" batch is generally recognized as the best by the market.

Its characteristics are a cotton paper wrapper with no barcode, and the tea cake's internal ticket (neifei) is stamped with a seal. The text on the seal is in Seal Script (篆體字), making the specific words illegible, which is why the market calls it "Heavenly Script." One stamp is a "Single Heavenly Script," and two stamps is a "Double Heavenly Script."

The King Brown Changtai batch has a dark brown and oily cake surface, clear tea strands, slightly long stems, and plump buds and leaves. The leaf material is thick and abundant, with very obvious characteristics of wild old-growth tea. Unlike the new ancient tree pure single-mountainhead teas that only have large leaves, Brown Changtai has a blend of buds and leaves. Based solely on this point, its drinking value is immeasurable.

After brewing, the tea soup is orange-yellow and bright. It is thick and substantial upon entering the mouth, with a certain degree of astringency that is followed immediately by returning sweetness and salivation. The strong tea flavor impacts the mouth, bringing a refreshing and lively sensation, and the aftertaste is long-lasting.

The King Brown Changtai exhibits its qualities fully today. The taste and inner substances are rich, the soup texture is solid, the throat rhyme is lingering, and the flavor is rich and full. It is a mid-stage tea with landmark significance."
