Read the standard way, 75 marks the year the recipe was set (1975), the 8 the leaf grade, and the 1 the Kunming factory code. 7581 is the benchmark shu brick, one of the earliest ripe pu-erh recipes ever made and a reference point the whole category is measured against. This is the 2018 pressing, in a 250 g brick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAs the original ripe brick recipe, 7581 is the textbook example of clean, classic shu character. [Confirm tasting notes — a Zhongcha 7581 typically shows wood, aged-wood sweetness and a clean, smooth earthy depth with none of the rough pile-ferment edge.] The brick form ages slowly and evenly and is easy to break and store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe liquor is deep chestnut to red-brown, clear and glossy, with a soft texture that coats the mouth. Across infusions it stays stable and generous, holding its character through many steeps while the quiet sweetness grows as the session goes on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA piece of pu-erh history that is also an excellent everyday shu: dependable, smooth, and from one of China's oldest and most respected tea houses. Equally at home in a focused gongfu session or a thermos, ready to drink now and steady to keep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShu Pu-erh tea, Ripe Pu-erh, Fermented Chinese tea\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWood, aged-wood sweetness, clean earthy depth (confirm notes)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClean, smooth, classic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMorning, daytime, everyday, working days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreparation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGongfu cha, thermos, Western style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZhongcha (中茶, China Tea)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecipe\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7581\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePressing date\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 October 2018\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRaw material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYunnan large-leaf sun-dried (shai qing) leaves\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAging potential\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStable to keep, will settle further with age\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYunnan, China\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompressed tea brick\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lucy Wang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63839814680953,"sku":"LW-Shu-11","price":39.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/3616\/2681\/files\/zhongcha-7581-shu-pu-erh-brick-2018-250g.png?v=1782479985","url":"https:\/\/teacha.store\/en\/products\/zhongcha-7581-shu-pu-erh-brick-2018-250g","provider":"TeaCha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
