The ripe puer tea 7572 is a staple blend that has been around since some of the first ripe puer teas were produced. If you are unfamiliar with the blend, you might be asking, “what does 7572 mean?” The first two digits of the code stand for the year 1975, when the blend was first produced by Menghai tea factory. The third digit 7 is the “lowest” grade of leaf used in the blend. The grading system of tea leaves is from 0 to 9 (or sometimes from 1 to 9 depending on the factory) with the smaller numbers indicating a smaller leaf size and the larger number indicating a larger leaf size. If this number is 7, it means that the largest leaf used in the blend was grade 7, and the blend will usually have at least 3 other leaf grades of higher grade mixed in the blend. The last digit in 7572, the 2, represents Menghai Tea Factory. Each factory has its own call number, such as 1 stand for Kunming tea factory, 2 stand for Menghai factory, 3 stand for Xiaguan factory, 4 stand for Puer factory. When stocking 7572 we decided to avoid Menghai tea factory productions due to their comparatively higher cost. Instead we offer three tiers of well priced 7572, one young, one aged from a well-known factory, and one aged from an unknown factory. They are all the same style and blend, but when compared side by side their characteristics of age and storage draw compelling contrasts from the teas.
