Overview
The 2014 DaYi "7432" Cake 357g Puerh Sheng Cha Raw Tea inherits the main concept of the blend recipe from the “Jia Ji Yuan Cha” (1st Grade Round Cake) from the early lineup. It was part of the first group of Puerh tea cake products named using serial numbers to indicate the birth year of the blend recipe (though many are approximate to that year), the main grade of tea materials, and the producing factory. For example, ‘74’ refers to the year 1974, ‘3’ indicates that 3rd-grade tea material is the main component, and ‘2’ is the serial number of the Menghai Tea Factory, which was part of the CNNP group and nationally owned at the time.
Historically, there was a long period from the late 70s to the 90s when the 7432 recipe was not used. In 2006, the recipe was revived by the new Menghai Tea Factory, which had become privatized by then. This tea uses selected materials from the Menghai tea region.
