Display the wrapped cake upright on a small wood, bamboo or lacquer stand, ideally beside a teapot, tea scoop and two tasting cups. Natural materials such as walnut, stone, linen and aged brass complement the red-and-white wrapper without overpowering it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor preservation, do not leave the cake permanently in strong sunlight or a humid decorative cabinet. Avoid kitchens, bathrooms, incense shelves and areas with perfume because Pu-erh readily absorbs surrounding odors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGift Ideas\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 357g Seven Sons-style cake format makes this a substantial Chinese tea gift for tea enthusiasts, hosts, business contacts, housewarmings, birthdays, Lunar New Year, Mid-Autumn gatherings and collectors building a Yunnan tea shelf.
