Year: 2021

Tea style: Ancient-tree pure material

Net weight: 357g
Taste & aroma
The liquor is soft, smooth and sweet, with a honeyed fragrance, fresh mountain-wild aroma and a lingering scent in the cup. Bitterness and astringency are restrained, allowing the tea’s sweetness and silky texture to remain the focus across repeated infusions.
How to brew
Gongfu: Break off 6–8g and use a 100–150ml gaiwan or small teapot. Brew with 95–100°C / 203–212°F water. Start with an 8–12 second infusion and increase later steeps gradually.
Everyday teapot: Use around 4–5g per 300ml of hot water and steep for 2–3 minutes. Re-steep several times, adding time as the leaves open.
When to drink
This tea is particularly enjoyable from late morning through the afternoon, when its aroma, sweetness and returning finish can develop over a longer session. Its softer profile also makes it a good introduction to single-area Yiwu raw Pu-erh.
Food pairing
Pair with fresh pear, white peach, melon, lightly roasted nuts, almond pastries, steamed dumplings or mild cheeses. Delicate foods help keep the tea’s honeyed sweetness and floral-mountain fragrance clear.
Storage & aging
Keep the cake in a clean, dry, ventilated and odor-free place away from direct sunlight and excess humidity. Store in breathable tea paper, a dedicated tea box or suitable Pu-erh storage. Stable conditions allow raw Pu-erh to continue developing gradually in aroma and texture.
Tea-room styling & gifting
The dramatic phoenix artwork and green-gold wrapper make this a strong display piece for New Chinese, contemporary Asian, Zen and collector-style interiors. Display one wrapped cake upright on a timber or ceramic stand beside celadon, Yixing clay or handmade stoneware. The auspicious phoenix imagery also makes it especially attractive for gifting.
