2018 Badashan Ripe Pu-erh Mini Cakes | Bada Shan Shu Cha, 1000g

Product detailed description

This Pu-erh (shu) tea comes from a spring 2018 harvest in the Badashan Mountains in Menghai County. After being harvested, the leaves were aged locally for three years before being pressed in 2021 into compact mini cakes weighing approximately 8 g each. Unlike typical mini tuo cha, which require broken leaves due to their small molds, these cakes are made from largely intact leaves, similar to those used in standard 200 g and 357 g cakes. The resulting infusion is rich and well-rounded, offering earthy tones complemented by hints of dried fruit. Thanks to its depth and balanced character, this tea is approachable for beginners while still providing enough complexity to satisfy experienced Pu-erh enthusiasts.
