last nite bought a brick of dayi 7562 250g 2006 1st batch frm my local tea shop. got a feeling this was a fake dayi brick. someone experience could identify it for me? note tht the upper genius sticker was a very light yellow color instead of light orange color which i seen on my other dayi cake. million thx!

Looks fake to me, especially the sticker.

Here are photos of a 2006 7562 601 I bought from Wing Ngai Tea, Hong Kong's authorised distributor for Dayi.

Did you try it?

Maybe it's the angle, but the blue-ink stamping on the date looks different, too (nicolas' pictures seem 'taller')...

But yes! How'd it taste? (:

the taste fate out after 4th infusion with 150ml pot, after tht, it was very watery. i'll try a real dayi 7562 09 batch 901 later.
