One vendor says “This cake was ordered by Hong Kong’s Henry Trading Company in 2003. The inner ticket states that it was produced by Menghai tea factory, although there’s some debate as to whether this was actually outsourced to a smaller factory.”
Another says “Upon its release 15 years ago, the Hong Kong Henry Trading Co. “Conscientious Prescription” 7542 was quite unpalatable due to its very high astringency,” followed by praise for how the tea has developed.
There are blog mentions from 2007 on describing this tea as a specialty 7542 production for a Hong Kong vendor.
Company description not available.
15g sample. Notes from across multiple sessions.
Soy sauce and ginger dry leaf. Mothball wet leaf. Nice sandalwood, spice, and cola in early steeps. 4th steep has some cooling menthol. Gets more savory and herbal in late steeps, with dryness. Finished with used coffee and cacao husks. Some warming in the belly and light drunkenness.
I think this tea offers me a bit of confirmation bias against Hong Kong style storage, as I’ve had a number now and never fully loved them. This one really puts me off with the mothballs. It’s obviously good tea, but it’s just not to my taste. And that’s okay, considering that I know I enjoy Malaysian and Taiwanese stored aged sheng.
