These thick and well-formed cakes have been preserved in dry to mild dry storage. Commissioned by Hong Kong's Nam Tien Trading Company in 1985, the 8582 blend was developed to meet market demand, using robust Lincang-area tea leaves primarily of grade 7 to 8 for improved quality and consistency. The tea offers a rich, balanced taste with pronounced camphor notes and a lingering sweetness.
