2008 Menghai 5 Mountain Blend

2008 Menghai 5 Mountain Blend — Vesper Chan (Raw Pu-erh) Pressed at the Menghai Tea Factory — behind some of the most iconic pu-erh ever made. A five-mountain blend by Vesper Chan, built as an ode to Menghai and the 7542 recipe. Seventeen years in, and still evolving. The structure isn’t fading — it’s still building. Bittersweet, cooling, complex. It keeps moving. Vesper is known for releases like the 1988 “Qing Bing” 7542, now trading around $30,000 per cake. This sits in that lineage. High-level tea. You feel it. Time isn’t softening this tea. It’s sharpening it. 30 gram bag.
