Shun Hua Shu Pu-erh (Ripe Pu-erh) Tea Cake 2020, 300g | Dayi (Menghai Tea Factory) with gift box

A ripe pu-erh from Dayi, pressed by the legendary Menghai Tea Factory in a 300 g cake. This is the 2020 pressing of a clean, classic Menghai-style shu, built on the factory's decades of fermentation know-how and now carrying a few comfortable years of age.

With around six years behind it, the early pile-ferment edge has settled, leaving a clean, balanced cup. Expect notes of wood, dried dates and a gentle natural sweetness, with the smooth earthy depth expected from a well-made shu. The character is even and dependable, easy to drink without any rough notes.

The liquor is deep chestnut-red, thick and glossy, with a soft texture that coats the mouth. Across infusions it stays stable and generous, holding its character through many steeps while the quiet sweetness grows as the session goes on.

A dependable everyday cake: clean, smooth and balanced. Equally at home in a focused gongfu session or a thermos for the working day, and a sensible 300 g cake to drink now or keep to settle further over the coming years.
