Hi all, I believe these are for some variety of tea, but the cursivey kanji is giving me a hard time. Any help is appreciated

極誥
碧露

The second character in the first picture is a Chinese hanzi, not a Japanese kanji. A very similar kanji 極詰, meaning "excellent pack", makes sense, but 極誥 doesn't.
碧露 literally means "blue/blue-green dew", and is often used as the name of a tea brand.

So most likely used by Chinese, not Japanese?

I mean 極誥 doesn't make much sense even in Chinese, unlike 極詰, which makes sense in both languages.

Ah ok, so it was most likely a typo or a mistake from the manufacturer?
