Menghai 7572 Shu (recipe)
Mèng Hǎi 7572 · 勐海7572
puerh-shu · bing · plantation
Menghai 7572 is the Menghai Tea Factory's flagship shu (ripe pu-erh) recipe, also from 1975 — distinguished from 7542 sheng by the wet-pile fermentation step that converts the leaf into ripe pu-erh's earthy, cocoa-tinged profile. Reliably consistent and a classic shu reference.
