Hi Trish,
Which museum are you referring to?
The old tea packaging I have seen was in the Virginia City, Montana's
Chinese Store, and it was in wooden crates, or cardboard boxes. I don't
recall ever seeing references to artifactual remains of tea packaging in any
of the archaeological reports that I use for Chinese sites.
Contact (or I will if you wish) Priscilla Wegars at the Asian Comparative
Collection in Moscow, Idaho, at [log in to unmask]; or call the local
Chinese Historical Society Museum at 619 338-9888. At any rate, I'd be
interested in whatever you find out.
