2025 Jasmine Qing Bing Yunnan Compressed Tea Mini Cakes – 500g, 5g Each
2025 Jasmine Qing Bing Yunnan Compressed Tea Mini Cakes – 500g
A fragrant mini compressed tea presented under the name 茉莉青饼 / Jasmine Qing Bing. The wrapper lists the ingredients as Yunnan large-leaf sun-dried green maocha and jasmine flowers, with a nominal weight of 5g per mini cake. The supplier lists the product as a 2025 tea in a 500g pack.
The wrapper classifies the product as 紧压调味茶 / compressed flavoured tea. The supplier markets it alongside raw Pu-erh and sheng-style tea, but because jasmine flowers are an explicit ingredient and the wrapper uses the flavoured-tea classification, this page presents it accurately as a jasmine-scented Yunnan compressed tea rather than a pure, unscented raw Pu-erh.

What Does It Taste Like?
The defining character is jasmine: fresh white-flower aroma, clean sweetness and a light returning sweetness over a Yunnan sun-dried green-tea base. Depending on water and steeping, the cup can also show honey, light herbs, soft fruit and a gentle green-tea structure. The liquor is typically pale gold to amber.
How to Brew It
Easy single-cake method
Use one 5g mini cake for around 150–250ml of water. Start with 90–95°C / 194–203°F water. A very quick rinse is optional. For a small gaiwan, begin with short steeps of around 10–20 seconds; for a larger mug or teapot, start around 2–3 minutes and adjust to taste.
How to keep the jasmine aroma bright
Avoid excessively long first steeps. If the tea becomes too strong or bitter, shorten the infusion or lower the water temperature slightly. Let later steeps lengthen as the compressed cake opens.
Best Time to Drink It
Late morning and afternoon suit this floral style especially well. It works as a fragrant break during work, a lighter tea after lunch or a weekend tea-table option. The tea base contains caffeine, so caffeine-sensitive drinkers should keep strong sessions earlier in the day.
Food Pairing Ideas
Pair with fresh fruit, almond biscuits, sponge cake, coconut desserts, sesame sweets, steamed buns, mild cheese, light dim sum or delicate pastries. Jasmine aroma is easiest to appreciate with foods that are not heavily spiced or intensely smoky.
Display & Interior Styling
The green-and-white floral wrappers create a fresh decorative accent. Place several wrapped cakes in a shallow porcelain or celadon bowl beside a glass fairness pitcher, pale wood tray and simple white cups. In a new-Chinese interior, combine them with bamboo, celadon, pale stone and restrained botanical elements. In a modern Western interior, they work neatly with light oak, travertine, linen and matte ceramics. Keep display pieces away from direct sun, steam, perfume and incense.
Gifting
The individually portioned format makes this tea easy to share in gift hampers and office gifts. It suits jasmine-tea drinkers, tea beginners, hosts, colleagues, birthdays, housewarmings and people who enjoy floral Chinese teas but may not want to break a full-size tea cake.
Storage
Store in a clean, dry, odour-free place away from direct light, heat and humidity. Floral teas readily pick up surrounding smells, so keep the pack away from coffee, spices, perfume, incense and strongly scented foods. Good storage protects both the jasmine aroma and the underlying tea character.
FAQ
Is this jasmine tea?
Yes. Jasmine flowers are listed as an ingredient on the wrapper.
Is this raw Pu-erh?
The supplier markets it alongside raw Pu-erh and uses Yunnan sun-dried green maocha as the tea base, but the wrapper classifies the finished product as compressed flavoured tea because jasmine flowers are included.
What does Qing Bing mean?
青饼 literally refers to a “green/raw cake” style. Here it is the product name used for the jasmine-scented compressed mini cake.
How much does each piece weigh?
The wrapper states 5g per mini cake.
How much tea is in the pack?
The supplier lists the pack size as 500g.
Do I need to break the cake?
No. The 5g format is designed as a convenient single brewing portion.
Should I rinse it?
A rinse is optional. Skipping the rinse preserves more jasmine aroma in the first cup; a very quick rinse can help the cake open faster.
What teaware works best?
Porcelain gaiwan and glass teaware are both good choices because they keep the floral aroma clear.
Can I cold-brew it?
Yes. Place one mini cake in cold water and refrigerate for several hours, tasting periodically until the flavour reaches your preferred strength.
Can I drink it every day?
It can be enjoyed as a regular tea according to personal caffeine tolerance and preferred brewing strength.
Is it good for the office?
Yes. The pre-portioned 5g cakes are convenient when you do not want to weigh loose tea.
Is it suitable as a gift?
Yes. The floral wrapper, jasmine aroma and individually portioned format make it approachable for both experienced tea drinkers and beginners.
How should I store jasmine tea?
Keep it dry, cool and protected from foreign odours. Floral aroma can fade or become muddled if stored beside strong-smelling foods, coffee or incense.
