Very interesting. Whomever colorized the photos did quite a job. I presume anyway that these were black and white photos that were colorized. I don’t think color photography existed yet.

There is one picture in there where the tea packages look just like Misty Peaks packaging of their loose raw puerh.

The colorizing is subtle, skilfull and lovely! Thanks for posting this. A nice reminder (for me, at least) regarding where tea really comes from.
