Use freshly boiled water at 95–100°C \/ 203–212°F. Give the tea a quick rinse, then start with a 10–20 second first drinking infusion.

In ripe tea, Yiwu material is often appreciated for a softer, sweeter and more rounded direction rather than an aggressively earthy profile. This product combines that regional identity with an aged-material concept and a compact everyday format.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStorage\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the tea in a clean, dry, ventilated and odor-free environment away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity, perfume and kitchen aromas.
