Taste & aroma
The cup is rich and rounded with a clear aged fragrance, warm woody depth, gentle sweetness and a soft, lingering finish. The liquor brews deep red-brown and remains smooth through repeated infusions, making it especially approachable for everyday ripe-Pu-erh drinking.
How to brew
Gongfu: Break off 6–8g with a tea pick and use a 100–150ml gaiwan or small teapot. Brew with 95–100°C / 203–212°F water. Rinse briefly, then begin with a 10–15 second infusion. Increase later steeps gradually.
Everyday teapot: Use around 5g per 300ml of boiling water and steep for 3–4 minutes. Re-steep several times, adding time to later brews.
When to drink
This mellow shou Pu-erh is comfortable after breakfast, after lunch or during a relaxed evening tea session. Its smooth, settled character also makes it a dependable office tea or thermos tea.
Food pairing
Pair with roasted nuts, dates, dark chocolate, sesame pastries, mooncake, dim sum, roast meats or mushroom dishes. Toasted, nutty and gently sweet flavours complement the tea’s mature profile particularly well.
Storage & aging
Keep the cake in a clean, dry, ventilated and odor-free place away from direct sunlight and excess humidity. Store it in tea paper, a dedicated tea box or a suitable ceramic jar. Stable storage helps preserve the aged fragrance and allows gradual further development.
Tea-room styling & gifting
The cream-and-red wrapper gives this 380g cake a classic Menghai tea-house look that works naturally in New Chinese, Zen, wabi-sabi and vintage tea-room interiors. Display one wrapped cake upright on a dark-wood or ceramic stand beside a gaiwan and tea pick. Its recognisable Long Yuan Hao presentation also makes it a practical gift for ripe-Pu-erh drinkers.
