Uneven colorings among the leaves. Looks like Darjeeling (oolong?), as Rajiv observed, or Nepalese.

Judging by the colour, bright green, it must be Indian Black tea.

Hmm, bright green, mixed and fairly broken…probably not a border tea. ’07 or ’08 Menghai blend?

the only things i can tell for certain about this leaf:
– picked by a woman (youngish)
– she was not speaking english when she picked it
and i’m sticking to the sheng pu-erh idea — either fang or tuo cha
tho i see why the others might say darjeeling in particular and they could be right.
