1997 7542 Raw Pu-erh – Aged Dayi Classic Sheng Cha:- This vintage 7542 raw Pu-erh, produced in 1997 by the iconic Menghai Tea Factory (Dayi), is a benchmark in the world of aged Pu-erh. The 7542 recipe—first developed in the 1970s—is renowned for its elegant balance of tender young leaves and robust material, creating a tea with excellent aging potential. Now matured for over 25 years, this tea has transformed beautifully. It brews a deep amber liquor with a soft, rounded body and complex layers of aged wood, dried fruit, camphor, and forest floor. The bitterness has mellowed into a silky smoothness, with a clean, lingering hui gan (returning sweetness) and a calming Cha Qi that settles deep. Carefully stored under optimal conditions, this 1997 7542 is both a connoisseur’s treasure and a living taste of Pu-erh history—a rare opportunity to experience the elegance of aged Sheng tea at its peak.
