This is the most popular Dayi branded cake, a classic recipe since 1975. Even though it is made by using blended plantation tea leaves, it wins by its unparalleled performance seen during last few decades.
We consider it a benchmark Pu-erh tea everyone should at least own a piece of it.
The infusion yields a strong liquor that is bitter but finishes with a sweet aftertaste.

This is one of those times when I like a tea so much I don’t want to write about it, I just want to sip and savor it. Maybe later I will give more detail but I just wanted to record somewhere how much I like this, in case I forget to come back to it.

2011 Dayi 7542 Green Sheng Puerh #1324
5.2g, 100mL gaiwan, Brita filtered water, 200f
This is one of the advised first stops in the puer journey, so I’m making a roundabout of sorts here in my own tea history.
Dry leaves, like rest of PS order, smell fruity and sweet
The wet leaves smell of light smoke and unexpectedly very sweet.
1x 5s rinse smells of shou: damp, mushroom, earthy
2s: slight sweet, slightly thick. Light, clear yellow broth.
5s: leaves smell a touch more smoky. Bitterness hits. Sharp and a touch medicinal. Broth thinned out.
10s: brew darkens to a light golden color. Bit drying in the mouth, unpleasantly so.
15s: feels slightly thicker again. Sweetness more pronounced.
30s: color returns to a light yellow, thin and sort of lifeless. Decided to kick temp to boiling for next steep.
1 min, boiling: not much to note. Put in a cold brew, which tasted pretty alright, but not much else to note.
Not terrible, but unlikely to purchase again.
Flavors: Earth, Fruity, Medicinal, Mushrooms, Smoke, Sweet
