Pu'er & Poker Cards

I just received my copy of the latest Puerh Teapot Magazine no. 20.

As the Chinese New Year is just around the corner, there's a little gift
that comes with the magazine - a deck of playing cards, detailing all (I
think) the products from Chang Tai Tea Factory. The pictures are too small
to see clearly, so it defeats the purpose as a reference, and it looks weird
to be a deck of playing cards, with a 'K' for King, and a picture of a pu'er
tea in the centre...

What other advertising gimmick will they think of next?
