2007 DaYi Menghai 7542 Sheng Pu-Erh Tea Cake

The 2007 Menghai Factory 7542 is one of the most iconic raw Pu-erh teas from Yunnan. Produced by the famous Menghai Tea Factory under the DaYi tradition, the 7542 recipe is widely respected as a benchmark for evaluating raw Pu-erh. This 357g tea cake is made in the classic compressed style and reflects the balanced structure that made the 7542 name so well known among Pu-erh drinkers.

With age, this tea develops a more rounded and complex profile than a young sheng. Expect layered aromas, gentle aged depth, hints of dried fruit and floral sweetness, a touch of bitterness that transforms into pleasant huigan, and a satisfying mouthfeel. Depending on storage, some cakes may also show woody, honeyed, or lightly earthy notes. For tea drinkers who want a traditional Menghai raw Pu-erh with collector appeal and proven aging pedigree, 2007 7542 is a strong choice.
