Understanding 7572:

• 75: The year this recipe was created.
• 7: Indicates that the blend consists mainly of larger, more mature leaves (with "9" being the highest grade, often including very mature leaves or even huang pian).
• 2: Represents the Menghai tea factory where this tea is produced.

We find this tea to be highly medicinal, offering warmth and comfort throughout the day and even overnight. For this beautiful tea, we recommend using a teapot for a long and peaceful session. Due to the slightly larger leaves, you can also enjoy it in a bowl or mug by placing just a few leaves in your vessel and adding very hot water. Each brewing method provides you a unique experience.
