Flavour & Aroma

Expect a clear golden liquor with a fresh, fragrant sheng-Pu-erh profile, clean sweetness and a lingering aftertaste. The compact cakes open progressively through repeated infusions, moving from a brighter early cup toward a softer and sweeter finish.

How to Brew

Gongfu style: Use one approximately 6g mini cake in a 120–150ml gaiwan or small teapot. Use 90–95°C water. Give the tea a quick 3–5 second rinse if desired, then begin with an 8–12 second drinking infusion. Increase later steeps gradually as the cake opens.

Mug or office method: Place one mini cake in 300–400ml of 90–95°C water. Steep for around 1–2 minutes, taste, then adjust subsequent infusions to your preferred strength.

When to Drink

This raw Pu-erh works particularly well in the morning, late morning or afternoon when its bright aroma and clean structure can be appreciated. Because tea naturally contains caffeine, many drinkers prefer to keep stronger sessions earlier in the day.

Food Pairing

Pair with fresh fruit, lightly sweet pastries, madeleines, almond biscuits, roasted nuts, mild cheese, dim sum or simple brunch dishes. The clean sweetness also makes it enjoyable without food during a focused tea session.

Tea-Room & Interior Styling

The individually wrapped round cakes make an attractive functional display. Arrange a small group in a shallow bamboo tray, celadon bowl, clear glass jar or lidded ceramic tea vessel beside a gaiwan and tasting cups. The blue-and-cream wrappers work especially well with pale oak, walnut, natural linen, stoneware and new-Chinese interiors.

For a more contemporary tea station, keep several wrapped pieces in a clear jar so guests can see the individual portions while the remaining tea stays protected in its outer package.

Gift Ideas

This 500g format is a practical Chinese tea gift for raw-Pu-erh drinkers, colleagues, hosts and beginners who want to explore sheng puer without breaking apart a large cake. Pair it with a small gaiwan, glass fairness pitcher or two porcelain tasting cups for a complete gift set.

Storage

Store in a clean, ventilated and dry environment away from direct sunlight, high humidity, perfume, incense, smoke, spices and cleaning products. Keep the individual wrappers intact until brewing.
