This is a classic Menghai recipe. The recipe originates from 1975; the tea leaves are an average grade of 4. This is a tea that is nice to drink immediately or store for a long period of time (decades). Menghai 7542 is a favorite blended, plantation-type tea from the Menghai Tea Factory.

Menghai Tea Factory (Tuocha Tea)I bought this tea (together with a 2010 7572) I think in 2018 from someone who had bought it on a trip to China. The price was good for me, around 35$ for the two cakes.
I don’t really know what to think of it. It has some nice fruity aspects and some smoke and bitterness. Also it seems to be acquiring some warming basement-like aromas, which I like. Not sure if those were already there when I bought it. But this tea isn’t really sweet and also the texture is pretty thin. The brew has a typical orange color of semi-aged pu-erh.
Yeah, there is no sweetness to be found in this recipe. Your description of this younger tea sounds pretty similar to mine with a 2003: https://steepster.com/derk/posts/402887
I actually like it a lot more now. Lots of fruitiness, nice thick body, good semi-aged aromas. Not really sweet still, but I acually like the dryness. It seems like it has gradually opened up.
I still like the 7532’s opposed to the 7542’s. They are also a bit cheaper on the budget as well.
Thanks for the tip!
