One of the most well-known factory formula Pu'er tea, Menghai Factory's '8582' is available in countless versions over nearly a half-century of production. The version we offer here was sourced and stored in Kunming, resulting in an immaculately pure and fragrant exemplar of this classic tea.
Clean wrapper and a cake surface with distinct leaf profile display the production and storage standards of this particular batch. These cakes have only experienced two storage environments since time of production - first in Kunming, followed by our own Theasophie storage from time of sourcing in 2009.
Flavor and energetic profile stand out as a standard for this famous recipe. Great shengjin (salivation), houyun (throat feel) and huigan (return sweetness) - a tea that displays all of the desirable characteristics of slow-aged twenty-year Pu'er tea.
