  1. Dear Friend,

    what you have posted as "精 品 -Xi Kong " is read as "Jing Pin":

    精 - Jing means it's quality is of superlative quality where it has reached the status of utmost purity, or what the English would have used in the very proper sense of the word "exquisiteness"... it is representative of the essential qualities, or indicative of the spiritual essence of the very thing itself.

    品 - P'in means 'an item, and not merely to be classified as a 'thing'. P'in is an object that is worthy of collection and used as an illustrative specimen of the unique qualities of what that item represents. the titular item, so to speak.

    like the term V.S.O.P... or FTGFOP in tea leaf grade designation, it is also a term often abused to raise the perceived and often, eye value, of the tea Beeng, as they are wrapped not in the most transparent fashion... no pun intended.

    hope it helps.

    1. Dear Balder-ghast,

      Thank you for pointing out the error. I added a grades section for Jipin/Zhenpin/Zhengpin as well.
