It is possibly the oldest specialized tea factory in Yunnan Province. Because of this, it has a solid reputation that is well respected by Pu-erh tea enthusiasts. It is located in Menghai county of Xishuangbanna (西双版纳) prefecture, which is renowned for being one of the birthplaces of Chinese tea culture. They were one of the first two tea factories (along with the Kunming Tea Factory) to come up with the 'wodui' (渥堆) method of ripening pu'er tea in 1973, and have a series of recipes that are undisputed as some of the finest ripened Pu-erh teas available. Formerly under the umbrella of the state-run CNNP, they went fully private in 1996 and adopted the 'dayi' (大益) logo. 'Dayi' means 'great benefit', which is meant to point out the great benefit that tea has on the body, the spirit, and human relationships.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDate: 2011 (101)\u003cbr\u003eNet Weight: 357 grams per cake (7 cakes per stack)\u003cbr\u003eIngredients: 2009-2010 Fermented Menghai blended material\u003cbr\u003eProduced by Menghai Tea Factory\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**picture of cake without wrapper is 2009 7262... nei fei will differ slightly between 2009 and 2011\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Menghai Tea Factory","offers":[{"title":"357 Gram Cake","offer_id":30850616582,"sku":"","price":74.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"25 Grams Sample","offer_id":37974556016839,"sku":"","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/9817\/products\/2011_dayi_7262_101_bao.jpg?v=1732133310"},{"product_id":"2012-menghai-0532-premium-ripe-pu-erh-tea-cake","title":"2012 Menghai \"0532\" Premium Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the one of the highest grade premium ripe tea recipe released by Menghai tea factory!
