Can anyone identify this RED GINSENG CANDY? Do you know where to buy?

candy wrapper

In 1992, a realtor in Edison, NJ, gave me one of these wonderful candies. She didn't know where to buy more because the Asian supermarkets (in Edison, NJ) stopped carrying them. I searched the internet, shoppes in Chinatown and Flushing, NY, but saw no candy with similar wrappers. (My wife says that the non-English writing on the wrapper is Chinese for "Red Tea".)

BTW, there are similar candies available from many suppliers, including Amazon. Instead of a different manufacturer, I'd enjoy knowing the original brand or company name that produced or produces candy with this wrapper. Perhaps the original company is still in business and makes something similar to these candies in the photo -- the best ginseng candies made!
