This lot comes in thin wrapping paper and has been preserved in natural storage. 7542 Pu-er is a benchmark product of Menghai Tea Factory in the 1980s and also served as the precursor to 88 Pu-er. After aging more than 40 years, the tea cakes possessed a powerful and domineering tea aroma, with hints of plum and a lingering honey-like sweetness. It has become a star in the Pu-er tea collecting market.
