Overview
A classic recipe from Menghai, and the first production of 2013 (301). This is an average blend of 4th grade material from 2011 to 2013, so it has already mellowed a bit. 8542 is a classic Menghai tea factory recipe that was first introduced in 1985. Somewhat similar to a 7542 recipe blend! Soft, clean liquor with a pleasant hui gan and full-bodied, floral notes. Good level of astringency that is not overpowering and leaves a 'citrus' like feel in the mouth. Date: 2013 (1301) Net Weight: 357 grams per cake (7 cakes per stack) Ingredients: 2011 to 2013 Menghai area blended tea leaves Produced by Menghai Tea Factory
