This is a 2007 production compressed in December 2007 (Batch 701). This blend is composed of semi-aged 2 and 3 year Menghai are “mao cha” (loose sun-dried Pu-erh). This cake is the second release of the “Silver Dayi” blend. The first and last time Menghai released the “Silver Dayi” cake was in 2003. Since that time it has appreciated in value faster than any other Menghai Factory tea cake. The use of semi-aged “mao cha” gives the tea a mellow and textured flavor. This is sure to be one of the best Menghai cakes of recent years!
