This Menghai Dayi Brand 2010 "7562" Classic Ripe Pu-erh Tea is a classic Menghai Tea Factory ripe pu-erh based on a 1975 recipe and pressed into brick form. This recipe's fermentation is slightly lighter than other ripe pu-erh so that is why its taste is more mellow and thick than other ripe pu-erh. In the past, this tea was mainly exported to Japan and some South Asian countries, with the simple white paper cover marked with 7562. Now the packaging has been changed to kraft paper for long term storage. The tea is composed mainly of maocha from grade 6 leaves with some grade 3 maocha used to cover the surface. This tea enjoys high aroma with quite thick and mellow taste. If aged for several years, the taste and aroma will reach an optimum state.
Important tips: for brewing ripe pu-erh tea, the water temperature should be between 205-210°F.
