Taste & aroma

Expect a fresh, naturally sweet cup with a soft floral and hay-like fragrance, gentle body and clean finish. The bud-rich profile stays delicate rather than roasted or heavy, making this an easy choice for drinkers who enjoy refined Chinese white tea.

How to brew

Gongfu method: Break off about 5–6g and use a 120–150ml gaiwan. Brew with water around 85–92°C / 185–198°F. Begin with a 15–25 second infusion and lengthen later steeps gradually.

Everyday mug: Use 3–4g per 300ml of water at around 85–90°C / 185–194°F. Steep for 2–3 minutes and re-steep as desired.

When to drink

Ideal for the morning, late morning or afternoon when you want something light, fragrant and refreshing. It also suits quiet tea sessions, reading breaks and relaxed weekend brewing.

Food pairing

Pair with pear, melon, white peach, almond biscuits, sponge cake, lightly sweet pastries, steamed dim sum or mild cheeses. Delicate foods let the tea’s fresh sweetness remain clear.

Storage & aging

Store away from direct light, humidity, heat and strong odors. Keep the cake dry and protected in tea paper, a clean tea tin or a well-managed ceramic jar. Stable storage helps preserve its clean aroma and allows the tea to develop gradually over time.

Tea-room styling & gifting

The turquoise-and-white wrapper and compact 100g format work beautifully in a New Chinese, Zen, Japandi or minimalist tea setting. Display one wrapped cake beside a white porcelain gaiwan, celadon cup or pale timber tea tray. Its smaller size also fits naturally into a premium Chinese-tea gift box, housewarming set or seasonal tasting collection.
