Batch 801 * Classic blend raw recipe cake * 357 grams
A classic recipe from Menghai, but the first production of 2008 (801). This is an average blend of 8th grade material from 2006 and 2007, so it has already mellowed a bit.
8582 is a classic Menghai tea factory recipe that was first introduced in 1985. Although the leaves used are coarser and larger than 7542 and 7532 recipe cakes many people find this cake to be superior in taste and smooth after-taste.
