I will preface this by saying I am very new to tea and know very little (beyond reading the wiki and watching Wu Mountain Tea videos). I visited Yunnan province a couple weeks ago and had a wonderful time. It is since this trip that I have taken an interest in tea, having previously only drank teabags and milk tea. 

In particular I had a wonderful experience in Pu'er city where we happened across a tea shop and had a gongfu style tea tasting, trying multiple Shengs and Shous with the owners for just 5 yuan a head. They were incredibly warm and welcoming, and proceeded to ply us with free tea, food and Baiju all night, expecting nothing in return. 

When I woke up the next morning with a sore head, I messaged them on WeChat and bought some tea to be sent to my home. I bought decent sized bags of loose Shou and Sheng Pu'er, as well as a random selection of these 3 yuan and 1 yuan pressed tea coins. They finally all arrived this morning. 

I tried a white this morning, and really enjoyed it. Since then I have been translating some more of the labels and reading through the sub, and I am a little disheartened to see many of the 'scammy' words all over the coins: Bing Dao, Ban Zhang, Ancient Tree etc.... this has made me think that I may have bought some relatively low quality tea.

I guess what I want to ask is what should I expect from this tea? Obviously I'm not expecting some rare Bing Dao 7 year aged tea for just 1 yuan - but then what actually am I drinking? Is this total tourist shite, or is it just average tea which is being upsold?
