Chinese/ Mandarin members

I'm looking for some help to "translate" a package of tea we received as a gift. My wife tried it and didn't like it so I'd like to sell the large box we still have.
I assume it's black tea? Anything special about it?
Also we found when cleaning up a tin box (still sealed) which appears to contain some Chinese liquor - 33% proof. Any ideas as to what it may be???


Thanks for any help/ assistance.

if you use google translate on your phone you cab use your camera to then watch as it changes from Chinese script to English

It's rice tea or wine according to google translate depending on which packet there is also mention of cotton so maybe cotton wine?

Interesting question Ken,

The amount of posts on here that insinuate poor quality etc etc of Chinese products, often in quiet demeaning ways, I would be surprised if we had many Chinese members left. But of course that doesn’t mean we don’t have any mandarin speakers on here.

Often saddened by those posts to be honest.


Cheers

Thats not "just tea", that's a very nice one, and you can send it to me if you don't want it (my wife is Chinese) I'll pay for it, within reason.
