2011 Dayi Raw Puerh (7542)
Dayi Factory is known as one of Yunnan's biggest tea producers. The numbers 7542 have a specific meaning - 75 stands for the year in which the recipe for Raw Puerh was created, 1975. The third number, 4, refers to the grade/size of the tea leaves (medium-sized). The last number, 2, refers to Dayi Tea Factory, where this pressed tea-cake was produced.
This raw-puerh was pressed from medium-sized tea leaves in 2011, put in dry storage, and aged. As a result, it carries a strong Qi, and has a slightly pandan taste with a dry mouthfeel.
