Flavour & Aroma

Expect a mellow fermented aroma, smooth woody depth, rounded sweetness and a substantial but polished mouthfeel. The bright red liquor carries the classic richness associated with ripe Pu-erh while remaining smooth enough for repeated infusions.

How to Brew

Gongfu style: Break off 7–8g and place it in a 120–150ml gaiwan or small teapot. Use 95–100°C water. Rinse once for about 5 seconds, then begin with an 8–12 second drinking infusion. Increase later steep times gradually as the leaves open.

Everyday teapot: Use approximately 5g per 300–400ml of near-boiling water. Steep for 1.5–2.5 minutes and adjust subsequent brews to taste.

Best Time to Drink

This smooth ripe Pu-erh works well after breakfast, after lunch or during an afternoon tea session. Its rounded character is particularly enjoyable in cooler weather and after richer meals.

Food Pairing

Pair with dim sum, roast meats, mushrooms, walnuts, sesame pastries, mooncake, dark chocolate or lightly sweet baked goods. The full-bodied profile is also satisfying on its own after a meal.

Tea-Room Styling & Display

The blue-and-gold wrapper gives this 357g cake strong visual presence. Display one wrapped cake upright on a dark wood or stone stand, with a traditional bamboo tong nearby for a layered tea-room arrangement. It pairs naturally with walnut, black lacquer, bronze, celadon, Yixing clay and natural linen.

For Western, Japandi or new-Chinese interiors, use the wrapped cake as a sculptural accent on a tea shelf or bar cabinet rather than hiding every cake in storage. Keep display pieces away from direct sunlight, steam and fragrance sources.

Gift Ideas

The traditional 357g format makes this a strong gift for Pu-erh drinkers, tea collectors, hosts, business contacts and Chinese tea enthusiasts. Pair it with a gaiwan, fairness pitcher or tasting cups for a complete premium tea set.

Storage

Keep the tea in a clean, dry and ventilated environment away from direct light, humidity, perfume, incense, smoke, spices and cleaning products. Stable, odour-free storage is especially important for compressed Pu-erh intended for longer keeping.
