{"product_id":"limingxing-qi-zi-bing-shu-pu-erh-2012-50g","title":"Limingxing Qi Zi Bing Shu Pu-erh (Ripe Pu-erh) Tea Cake 2012, 50g | Menghai","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA ripe pu-erh from Limingxing (黎明星火), pressed in the traditional Qi Zi Bing (\"seven sons\") 357 g format and offered here as a 50 g portion. The leaf is Yunnan large-leaf maocha from the Lancang river basin, grown above 2,000 m in Menghai county, Xishuangbanna. After hand-sorting and selection it was fermented and steam-pressed into a tight, even cake. This is the 2012 pressing, now well-aged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWith over a decade of age behind it, this is ripe pu-erh at its smooth, comfortable best. The early pile-ferment edge is long gone, leaving a clean, deep cup with a mellow, sweet character and a notably thick, full body. The aged aroma is clean and rich.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe liquor is a bright reddish-gold, clear and glossy, with a soft, full texture that coats the mouth. Across infusions it stays stable and generous, holding its depth through many steeps while the sweetness opens further, leaving a clean, refreshing, thirst-quenching finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA well-aged, full-bodied shu, smooth and satisfying for daily drinking. A 50 g portion is an easy way to enjoy a decade-aged Menghai cake without committing to a whole bing, equally at home in a focused gongfu session or a thermos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShu Pu-erh tea, Ripe Pu-erh, Fermented Chinese tea\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMellow, sweet, thick and full-bodied, clean aged depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmooth, rich, well-aged\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMorning, daytime, everyday\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreparation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGongfu cha, thermos, Western style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLimingxing (黎明星火)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2012\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRaw material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYunnan large-leaf maocha, Lancang river basin, above 2,000 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAging potential\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlready well-aged, stable to keep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMenghai, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLoose portion broken from the cake\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e📖 \u003cstrong\u003eBrewing guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/teacha.store\/en\/blogs\/tea-journal\/how-to-brew-chinese-tea\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLearn how to brew Chinese tea and prepare gongfu tea for the best flavor and aroma.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e🍃 \u003cstrong\u003eNew to pu-erh?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/teacha.store\/en\/blogs\/tea-journal\/shu-puerh-vs-sheng-puerh-difference\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLearn the difference between Shu Pu-erh and Sheng Pu-erh and find the pu-erh that suits your taste.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lucy Wang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63837287514489,"sku":"LW-Shu-06","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/3616\/2681\/files\/limingxing-qi-zi-bing-shu-pu-erh-2012-357g.png?v=1782458021","url":"https:\/\/teacha.store\/en\/products\/limingxing-qi-zi-bing-shu-pu-erh-2012-50g","provider":"TeaCha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
