My second try at the '02 7542. It's pleasant enough, after having been tinned for a week the leaves have mellowed a bit and become sweeter flavored and more sweet. Still has a kind of sharp wood taste on top, and a degree of complexity in the finish and aftertaste, though less than the first try. No qi, and the aroma isn't that inviting. The real issue is that it's extremely nondurable for a tea of its age and heritage. It's close to flavorless outside of the bitter after about 7 brews, though a good texture keeps going, and a decent experience can still be had with agressively long brews. I do not think it will be a very good ager. It also has the character that I think JakubT really freaking hates, the sharpness in the top taste is slightly sour straw-plums. Does bite in the way wild blackberries will bite. I don't mind it much, but it's a ding.
