Use freshly boiled water at 95–100°C \/ 203–212°F. Give the tea a quick 5–10 second rinse to loosen the compressed leaf. Begin with a 10–20 second first drinking infusion, then increase steeping time gradually as the brick opens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMug or everyday teapot:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use one mini brick for a medium mug or small teapot. Add boiling water and steep for about 2–4 minutes. Refill several times while the leaves continue to release flavour. For a lighter cup, shorten the steep; for a richer and more resinous profile, allow the brick to open fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy camphor aroma is prized in ripe Pu-erh\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCamphor aroma is a classic mature aromatic direction associated with darker, aged-style Pu-erh. It gives the tea a woody, cooling and composed fragrance rather than a floral or fruity profile. Combined with the softness of ripe Pu-erh, it creates a cup that feels deep, calm and especially suited to slower tea sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStorage\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore in a clean, dry, ventilated and odor-free place away from direct sunlight, moisture and strong household smells. Ripe Pu-erh can be kept for long-term storage when conditions are stable. Because each portion is individually wrapped, it is easy to display a few pieces while keeping the rest protected inside a tea tin, ceramic jar or resealable tea pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTea-room styling \u0026amp; display\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe white paper wrappers with bold black calligraphy and red seal marks create a restrained, archival Chinese aesthetic.
