Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures based on cuprate superconductors attract substantial interest of novel topological phases as well as technological applications. One of the hindrances for the progress is the detrimental effect of disorder on the properties of the vdW devices-based Josephson junctions. This work reports a novel method of fabricating twisted vdW heterostructures made of Bi2Sr2CuCa2O8+x, combining the employed cryogenic stacking using a solvent-free stencil mask technique and additionally covering the interface with insulating hexa boron nitride layers. We find that encapsulating the interface in the stacked systems overcomes detrimental effects of disorder providing highly coherent Josephson junction. This finding enables crucial improvement of its critical current and the Tc of the junctions up to their magnitudes in bulk intrinsic junctions.
