If you’re a tea lover, you’ve probably heard of Pu’er tea – a unique fermented tea from Yunnan Province, China. But have you tried Lao Ban Zhang Pu’er Ripe Tea? These small 6g tea cakes bring the legendary flavor of Lao Ban Zhang right to your cup, making it easy to enjoy authentic Pu’er tea at home or on the go.
What Makes Lao Ban Zhang Special?
Lao Ban Zhang is one of the most famous tea villages in Pu’er City. Known for its remote location and rich tea-growing history, this village produces leaves prized for their bold, earthy flavor and natural sweetness.
Unlike many teas, Pu’er ripe tea (Shou Pu’er) undergoes fermentation and aging, developing depth, complexity, and a smooth, mellow character. Every sip is a taste of Yunnan’s tea heritage.
Why Mini Tea Cakes Are Perfect
Each 6g mini cake is carefully pressed for convenience and flavor retention. These small cakes are perfect for:
Multiple steepings in a 120ml gaiwan or mug
Traveling or sharing with friends
Sampling without committing to a full-sized cake
Over several steeps, the tea slowly releases its dark amber-red liquor, rich aroma, and smooth, earthy flavor.
Health and Enjoyment
Ripe Pu’er tea is not only delicious but also appreciated for its digestive benefits. Many tea enthusiasts enjoy it after meals to support digestion and experience a natural, gentle energy lift.
How to Brew Lao Ban Zhang Mini Cakes
Place one 6g mini cake in a gaiwan or mug
Rinse briefly with hot water to awaken the leaves
Steep in hot water (~95°C / 203°F) for 20–30 seconds for the first brew
Increase steeping time slightly for subsequent brews
Enjoy multiple flavorful steeps from a single mini cake
💡 Pro Tip: Cold-brewing one mini cake overnight produces a smooth, mellow tea, perfect for a refreshing drink.
