Menghai TAETEA "7572" Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake

Note: Due to variations in production years and batches, the packaging appearance may differ. However, we guarantee that the quality remains consistent in every batch.

A classic recipe from Menghai. This is an average blend of 7th grade material that was fermented last year, so the cake does not have that just fermented taste, rather it has already mellowed a bit. Another 6 months to a year down the road and it will make even more impovements in taste and liquor clarity. When brewed this cake will taste a little sweet and lighter than the creamy 7262.

The 7572 is one of the best-selling ripe Pu-erh cakes produced by Menghai Tea Factory under the Yunnan Dayi Tea Group. The tea is made with fine buds as the surface and younger tea leaves as the inner material. It is crafted using the “Dayi Tea Production Techniques,” a national intangible cultural heritage. The result is a tea with a deep red color and rich aroma, boasting an exceptional overall quality. It is considered the benchmark for judging the quality of ripe Pu-erh cakes (Pu-bing). In fact, it won the Gold Award at the 2002 China Pu-erh Tea International Symposium.

The 7572 recipe is based on a 1975 formula and is made from grade 7 tea leaves, with production originating from the Menghai factory (factory code 2).

Actual colors of the tea may vary somewhat from pictured. Purchase the smallest amount to try before purchasing larger amounts.
