This lot has been preserved in absolutely dry to dry storage. It was the first batch to bear the "Dayi" trademark, featuring pale purple prints on thin wrappers and red inner tickets. Made with the classic 7542 recipe, the cakes combine grade 4 leaves with a base of robust large leaves and tender buds scattered across the surface, developing a distinctive aged plum aroma over time. Produced in only two batches (601 and 602) totaling 168 cakes, this version is highly prized for its rarity and exceptional quality.
