I’ve always wanted to own one of these 7562 bricks although I can’t quite tell you why. I’ve heard so many things about them and people owning ones that age very well over time. I’ve never had a brick that is so tightly packed before and, having no idea how to break it apart I immediately began attacking it with a kitchen knife, making a big mess. There must be a better way – a chisel?
My cup is elegant with no strange odors in my opinion. The tea is very smooth and dark with a creamy, malty and chocolate-y element. I am enjoying it. I’m a newbie to Menghai pu-erhs but am already a fan of this one. Definitely a good purchase for the price, I got mine from Puershop.com for $11.95 and that will make a lot of tea!

I’ve had good luck with the puerhshop and Menghai teas as well.
@Triumph – Menghai seems to have a good reputation. Have you ever had to chisel tea out of a brick?
They sell special knives and picks….
Apparently I need one!
Luckily I have one of those special picks (I’ve broken a couple) because I’ve had a few ripe cakes that had become pretty impenetrable.
I know purepuer.com sells puer picks and knives. Want!
maybe I’ll find one at the SF international tea festival I’m going to tomorrow…
Hey, I remember reading about the festival. How was it?? Lucky dog! :))
not that great in my opinion, but worth checking out
