Menghai Tea Factory 2008 Batch 801 8582 Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake, Classic Yunnan Puerh Tea, 357g (12.6 oz)

Experience the Legacy of Menghai Tea Factory The Dayi 8582 is one of the most famous recipes in the world of Pu-erh tea, second only perhaps to the 7542. Produced by the historic Menghai Tea Factory, this tea cake (Batch <801>) dates back to 2008, making it a semi-aged raw (Sheng) Pu-erh with excellent drinkability and collection value. Why Choose the 8582 Recipe? Unlike recipes that use tiny, tender buds, the 8582 blend intentionally incorporates larger, more mature tea leaves (grades 5 to 8). These coarser leaves are rich in substances that allow for long-term transformation. They give the tea a "thick" water quality, a bold aroma, and a sweetness that lingers in the throat. Tasting Notes: Upon brewing, the tea soup presents a bright, golden-orange hue. The flavor is full-bodied and robust. The initial strength quickly transforms into a sweet aftertaste (Hui Gan), characteristic of high-quality Yunnan sun-dried large-leaf tea.

• Authentic Dayi Brand: Produced by the renowned Menghai Tea Factory in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. Dayi is widely recognized as a benchmark brand in the Puerh tea industry, representing strictly controlled quality and traditional processing methods.
• Classic 8582 Recipe: This tea follows the legendary "8582" formulation, known for using larger, coarser tea leaves (grades 5-8). This specific blend creates a bold, masculine flavor profile that is distinct from the more delicate 7542 recipe.
