Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
The 7572 recipe from Menghai Tea Factory is one of the most classic ripe Puerh (shou cha) formulas, first developed in the mid-1970s and still admired for its balance and aging potential. This 2006 production has had nearly two decades to mature, developing smoothness and depth beyond its younger years. The liquor is a clear, deep mahogany red. The taste is mellow and rounded, with notes of sweet wood, soft earth, and hints of jujube and Chinese herbal tones. The body is silky, with a lingering natural sweetness and a warming chi (氣) that makes it a comforting everyday vintage.
