2008 Menghai Dayi Big Classic Ripe (大益大经典熟饼)
The tea making technique accumulated in decades at Menghai Tea Factory was selected as one of China’s cultural heritages in 2008, and a tea cake was made to celebrate this event.
Here comes Dayi Big Classic cake. It is believed that the best effort has been made and some decent raw materials are blended to produce one of the better cakes in 2008, not just for marketing purpose.
In the history, this type of special event driven cake demands hefty dollars in just a few years.

Menghai Tea Factory (Dragon Tea House)Be careful about brewing this one too strong because when it is brewed strong it comes out as a soso disappointment for a Dayi ripe puerh. When brewed lighter it produces a much better and enjoyable brew that has a light smooth mouth feel with a bit of maltiness in the mellow background. A good Dayi puerh overall but not the best, so keep in mind just because a puerh cake is a commemorative cake does not mean that it will be better quality than a standard one. It might just cost more because it is a special limited edition cake with a special wrapper around it.
Lately I’ve been experimenting with some factory puerhs, and here we have a fantastic slab of ripe from Menghai.
The smell right after first rinse is sweet rye bread. Think rye bread pudding…yum. This is gonna be good.
…and it is! Great maltiness in the aftertaste that lingers. As it lingers, it gets better and evolves into a nice toastiness. This is a crisp puerh with almost no funky, smokey, or musty flavors.
A slight bitterness appears as the steeps go on, but it’s subtle and pleasant. The bitterness turns into that toasty aftertaste and actually increases it’s intensity into something resembling marmite.
This tea is fantastic, no doubt.
Flavors: Bread, Clean, Crisp, Malt, Rye, Toasty
A very nice everyday shu puer! A tea that is both sweet and smooth with traces of dark cocoa, malt and baked bread enjoyed throughout the tea session. The dark tea soup offers a sweet and bready aroma. The steeps are thick and syrupy with a mouth-coating sweetness. This shu is very clean with no off flavors of any type. It goes down easy and is quite soothing to me.
