I took a quick look at Sanhetang website, seems like they also produce this tea during 2014 and 15. It said the tea is made of Fengqing material. Maybe your trip this year to Asia involve spending some time at Tainan to have more of their tea, and get all the 15 cakes for the year during the trio.
The tea is from Fengqing.
This is not a dollar a gram tea. The person who sold it for a dollar a gram gave a huge price break, even for a taiwanese private collector sale. Retail, a 250g cake is more than a thousand, by now.
