A 2019 Yunnan ripe Pu-erh / shou puer pressed into the classic 250g brick format. Made from Yunnan large-leaf sun-dried tea material, this tea is built for a smooth, full everyday cup with the mellow depth that makes aged ripe Pu-erh such an easy tea to return to.
Tea type: Ripe Pu-erh / Shou Puer
Year: 2019
Recipe style: 7562
Format: Compressed tea brick
Net weight: 250g
Taste & aroma
The cup is rounded and satisfying, with a naturally sweet mature-tea character, warm date-like fragrance and a full mouthfeel. Its settled ripe-Pu-erh profile makes it especially approachable for daily drinking while still offering the depth and persistence expected from a stored tea brick.
How to brew
Gongfu: Break off 6–8g with a tea pick. Use a 100–150ml gaiwan or small teapot with water at 95–100°C / 203–212°F. Rinse briefly, then begin with a 10–15 second infusion. Increase later steeps gradually as the brick opens.
Everyday teapot: Use around 5g per 300ml of boiling water and steep for 3–4 minutes. Re-steep several times, adding time to later infusions.
When to drink
This is an easy after-breakfast, after-lunch or evening tea. Its mellow style also works well at the office or as a dependable everyday Pu-erh when you want depth without the sharper structure of young raw tea.
Food pairing
Pair with roasted nuts, dates, dark chocolate, sesame pastries, mooncake, dim sum, roast meats or savoury snacks. The tea’s rounded mature character works especially well with toasted and caramel-like flavours.
Storage & aging
Keep the brick in a clean, dry, ventilated and odor-free place away from direct sunlight and excess humidity. Tea paper, a dedicated tea box or a well-managed ceramic jar are all suitable. Stable storage helps preserve its mature character and allows gradual further development.
Tea-room styling & gifting
The traditional bamboo-paper brick has a strong vintage tea-house look that suits New Chinese, Zen, wabi-sabi and rustic tea-room interiors. Display one wrapped brick beside dark timber, Yixing clay or aged brass accents, while keeping drinking stock protected. Its dated 2019 format also makes it a distinctive gift for Pu-erh drinkers and collectors.
