As early as the Tang Dynasty, ethnic minorities had already planted large tea gardens in Yiwu. The Ming and Qing Dynasties marked the heyday of Yiwu tea development. Yiwu is not only the homeland of centuries-old tribute tea but also the origin of the Tea Horse Ancient Road. From here, tea leaves embark on a journey, passing through different regions and ethnic groups, and with diverse forms but the same essence, they interpret the rich and colourful history of Pu’er tea.

The right formula of Pu-erh tea cake and the technology of fermentation are the two key factors for making high-class Pu-er teas. They are also the core values of Da Yi Tea craftsmanship, which has also been nominated as the national intangible cultural heritage of China. While Da Yi 7572 is well-known for its fermentation technologies, Da Yi 7542 is well-known for its formulation technologies.
Normally, Pu-erh tea is formulated by mixing the same grade tea leaves from different origins, blending the different grade of tea leaves from the same origin, or combining tea leaves produced in different years. This allows us to maximize the quality and taste of Pu-erh tea. Due to the exquisite formulation craftsmanship from Menghai Tea Factory, Da Yi 7542 has a surprisingly stable and premium quality. Although there are many novel formulation technologies nowadays, it keeps its unique and classic taste. The Da Yi 7542 has also become the most classic raw Pu-erh tea cake and become the standard/benchmark of Pu-erh raw tea.
The batch number of our Da Yi 7542 is 810.
What is 7542?
7542 is its serial number. The serial number of Pu-erh cakes has a special meaning. The first two numbers refer to the tea formula used. The third number refers to the grade of tea material used – the smaller the better. The last number indicates a particular tea factory.
Therefore, for this tea cake, the ‘75’ means the formula of the tea cake was developed in 1975 year. ‘4’ means the grade of the tea leaves is level ‘4’ and ‘2’ means it is produced by the Menghai Tea Factory.
Pu-erh made from more delicate tea materials would taste fresher because it is rich in amino acids, and the best Pu-erh is rich in health-supporting substances and strong in flavour. However, it is important to know that Pu-erh made from higher grades of tea is not necessarily the better or more expensive. Pu-erh made from lower-grade tea materials could also have a very aggressive aroma which is attractive to many tea lovers. The aroma of Pu-erh would get stronger when it is aged. When aged, lower-grade of Pu-erh can taste much better than the new and high-grade Pu-erh, and of course, aged Pu-erh will normally be more expensive.

Gong Mei sometimes is also called Shou Mei because it is a more premium version of Shou Mei, made of better raw material. Gong Mei is more tender than Shou Mei, since its picking time is earlier (but both are later than White Peony).
This premium grade of White Peony was made in 2019, and comes from Pan Xi Town, Fu Ding City, Fujian province. It is of one tea bud with one or two leaves picking standard. The picking time is limited which makes it more expensive than other white peony teas.
White peony has rich nutrients and antioxidants while has less caffeine. The taste is very refreshing together with a light sweetness and floral and fruity aroma. The tea is very popular among tea lovers.
Out of StockOur Shou Mei is produced in Pan Xi Town, Fu Ding City, Fujian province in China. Within the white tea family, this tea is a relatively aged one because it contains a large amount of mature tea leaves. It is plucked after the pick of White Peony tea and the White Hair Silver Needle tea. Its material is Da Bai Large white tea leaves, Shui Xian tea leaves or the group-species Xiao Cai Cha tea tree leaves as the raw materials. It normally uses the picking standard of “one bud with two or three mature tea leaves”. However, due to the low yield of Xiao Cai Cha nowadays, our 2016 Fu Ding Shou Mei is using Fu Ding Da Bai tea leaves as its raw material.
If White Hair Sliver Needle tea is like a beautiful young girl, our Shou Mei is like a mature and wise lady or like ripe grapes, which have a mellow and strong taste.
This white tea cake is using White Peony as raw material, produced from the Tailao Mountain, in Fu Ding City, Fujian province, the hometown of Chinese white tea.
