2009 Menghai “7452” Red Ribbon * Ripe Pu-erh tea *
Batch 901 * Premium blend fermented cake * 357 grams
Classic Recipe “7452” ripe Pu Er tea is one of the classic, traditional recipes in the Menghai Tea Factory. It used to be the highest quality of ripe Pu Er tea exported to overseas. The tea is medium-fermented, with tea buds spread on the surface. Bright red tea liquid with mellow & thick taste, and sweet aroma; less coarse taste compared to 7572.
A classic recipe from Menghai, but the first production of 2009 (901). This is an average blend of 5th grade material that was fermented last year, so the cake does not have that just fermented taste, rather it has already mellowed a bit. Another 6 months to a year down the road and it will make even more impovements in taste and liquor clarity. But, don’t wait, as this will sell fast!
This is the first release of the 7452 recipe since 2007. Small red ribbon embedded into the cake denotes this special release.
