Taste & aroma
Expect a smooth, mellow cup with layered aged-tea sweetness, dried-flower and bamboo-leaf nuances, and the distinctive herbal aroma traditionally associated with well-stored old white tea. The liquor becomes fuller and more rounded as the leaves open through repeated infusions.
How to brew
Gongfu: Break off 6–8g and use a 120–150ml gaiwan or small teapot. Brew with 95–100°C / 203–212°F water. Start with a 15–20 second infusion and extend later steeps gradually.
Boiling method: After several gongfu infusions, the opened leaves can be simmered gently in fresh water for a richer, sweeter final brew.
When to drink
This mature white tea suits slow morning tea, afternoon sessions and relaxed evening brewing. Its rounded profile also makes it a good bridge for drinkers who enjoy aged Pu-erh but want something lighter and more fragrant.
Food pairing
Pair with dried dates, walnuts, almond pastries, sesame sweets, mooncake, mild cheese or lightly roasted foods. The tea’s aged sweetness works especially well with nutty and gently caramelised flavours.
Storage & aging
Store in a clean, dry, ventilated and odor-free place away from direct sunlight and excess humidity. Keep the cake wrapped or inside a clean tea box or ceramic jar. Stable storage helps preserve its mature aroma and allows the profile to continue developing gradually.
Tea-room styling & gifting
The vintage cream wrapper and traditional 357g round cake suit New Chinese, Zen, wabi-sabi and collector-style interiors. Display one wrapped cake upright on a dark wood stand or ceramic plate beside a gaiwan and tea pick. The aged-tea story also makes it a strong gift for housewarmings, Lunar New Year and experienced Chinese-tea drinkers.
