You would have to reference Dayi year books to compare wrappers on the photos and ascertain the year. You may also bring your cake to an authorised Dayi tea dealer who may shed some light to your quest.wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02559674803593116554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661249909570434867.post-92184323422074778052014-01-22T07:36:52.085+08:002014-01-22T07:36:52.085+08:00Thank you for the comments.

Hektor, my next blog is a direct response to your question.<br />SYMP, I have checked with a teashop that has been around for 20 years and they tell me that older cakes before 2005 (thereabouts) like Dayi, CNNP or zhong cha labels do not have the recipe numbers on the tea cake wrapper. The numbers are usually found on the outer carton or carton ticket that accompanies the box of cakes. In addition, wrappers also do not indicate raw or ripe, so shops will normally mark either raw or ripe with a chop mark. My teashop friend has a 'green' chop for raw pu. This may also indicate that tea drinkers during 2005 or earlier, just buy pu erh tea raw or ripe, and recipe numbers may be less critical.... or may indicate 7572 (ripe) and 7542 (raw) are normally the cakes sold in these instances. wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02559674803593116554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661249909570434867.post-18281849070258005242014-01-22T00:08:46.182+08:002014-01-22T00:08:46.182+08:00Dear Wilson, I have a similar piece that i receive...Dear Wilson, I have a similar piece that i received as a gift some years ago. Since there is no date to be found anywhere (note even the formula code), how do you know which year and type?
