A two hundred and fifty gram cake of sheng pu'er of the Kaishunhao brand (勐海开顺号有限公司, měnghǎi kāishùnhào yǒuxiàn gōngsī, Menghai Kaishunhao Ltd.) called Laobanzhang (老班章, lǎobānzhāng) has several interesting features.
The tea leaves for this sheng were picked from pu'er trees near the village of Banpen (邦盆, bāngpén) in the spring of 2013. The cake is named "Laobanzhang," after the famous village of Laobanzhang, located in close proximity to Banpen. From 2013 to 2017, the tea was stored by farmers in Banpen, after which, in 2017, Yang Kaishun (杨开顺, yáng kāishùn), head of the Kai Shun Hao brand, purchased the maocha, and these cakes were produced.
The stylish, minimalist white packaging, with a subtle design of mountains and houses, conceals beautiful, slightly darkened tea leaves pressed into a cake-shaped form, featuring light and dark shades and visible hairs. Also hidden under the cover is an insert depicting the tea trees from which the raw tea was harvested. When lightly brewed, pu-erh tea has floral, honey-like flavors and aromas, while steeping it more strongly prevents bitterness and enhances its effects.

Pu-erh is one of the most unique types of tea, which only gets better with age. Many people, when they first encounter this tea, wondered: why is pu-erh more often found in pressed form (cakes, bricks, tochas), and not in loose form? The reasons for this are related to both history and the practical aspects of storing and fermenting tea. Despite modern technologies that allow the production of loose pu-erh, the shape of pressed cakes remains unchanged. And pu-erh is more often found on sale in pressed form, for example, in the form of cakes or bricks, and loose pu-erh is less common. We will talk about the reasons for pressing pu-erh into cakes in this article.

В нашем ассортименте пуэров широко представлена линейка завода "Кайшуньхао". Мы познакомились с владельцем во время одного из путешествий в Китай. Это было время, когда мы открывали новые горизонты для сотрудничества основываясь на качестве и адекватной цене! Так кто же такие эти увлеченные своим делом люди?)
