CNNP = China National Native Produce, also known as Zhong Cha, tea from China. It is a state-owned company that makes pu erh for the whole country and exported before the 1980s. Now it has become one of the most sought after brands in the Pu Erh world. Before 2006, the CNNP Pu Erhs did not focus on any particular terroir.
