Shu Pu-erh Mingshan Xing — Banzhang Laoshu 2012 — 357 g

Shu Pu-erh Mingshan Xing Banzhang Laoshu 2012 is an aged fermented Pu-erh from Menghai, Yunnan, pressed into a traditional 357 g cake. With over a decade of natural development, the tea shows maturity, depth, and structural balance. It is dense and grounded, yet clean and controlled — without rough fermentation sharpness.

The reference to Banzhang Laoshu reflects a stylistic direction toward stronger, more structured leaf material. Over time, the profile has settled into a stable, rounded character with weight and presence. This is a shu Pu-erh with body and calm power — steady, deep, and consistent across multiple infusions.
