The blend combines Yunnan small-bean coffee with five-year Menghai ripe Pu-erh, bringing roasted coffee aroma together with the smooth, mellow body of shou Puer. The individually wrapped format makes it especially convenient for office tea, travel, gifting and quick everyday brewing.

What Does Coffee Pu-erh Taste Like?

Expect a darker, smoother cup than ordinary black tea, with the mellow fermented body associated with ripe Pu-erh and an additional roasted coffee direction. Depending on water, leaf amount and steep time, the cup can suggest roasted coffee, cocoa, dark wood, caramel, date and gentle earthy sweetness.

How to Brew It

Easy mug or teapot method

Use one mini cake for roughly 250–350ml of water. Start with water around 95–100°C / 203–212°F. Steep for about 2–4 minutes, then adjust time to taste. Because the tea is compressed, the flavour may become fuller after the first infusion.

Gongfu method

Use one mini cake in a small gaiwan or teapot. A very quick rinse is optional if you want to help the cake open. Begin with short infusions of around 10–15 seconds, then gradually increase the time as the leaf expands.

When to Drink It

Morning and afternoon are especially natural. The coffee aroma makes it a fun alternative to a breakfast coffee, while the ripe Pu-erh base gives it a rounded tea character that also works well after lunch or during a 2–5pm break. Both tea and coffee ingredients can contribute caffeine, so caffeine-sensitive drinkers should keep stronger sessions earlier in the day.

Food Pairing Ideas

Pair it with dark chocolate, almond biscuits, croissants, toast, walnut cake, tiramisu-style desserts, roasted nuts, caramel desserts, mild cheese or a simple breakfast. The roasted coffee direction also works well with desserts that would normally be served beside espresso.

Tea-Room Display & Gift Styling

The warm terracotta wrappers and coffee-bean motif give these mini cakes an unusually decorative look. For a modern tea corner, place several wrapped cakes in a shallow ceramic bowl beside a dark wood tea tray, glass fairness pitcher and neutral cups. For a contemporary Chinese interior, combine them with walnut wood, stoneware and restrained bronze accents. Keep display pieces away from direct sunlight, steam, perfume and cooking odours.

The 500g pack makes a playful gift for people who enjoy both specialty coffee and Chinese tea. It suits birthdays, housewarmings, office gifting, host gifts, festive hampers and tea-curiosity gifts for someone who may find a full 357g cake intimidating.

Storage

Store the tea in a clean, dry, ventilated and odour-free place away from direct light and excess moisture. Because flavoured teas can readily absorb surrounding aromas, keep this product away from incense, perfume, spices and strongly scented foods.

FAQ

Is coffee Pu-erh the same as coffee?

No. It is a tea product based on ripe Pu-erh with a Yunnan coffee component. Brew it like tea rather than espresso.

Is this raw or ripe Pu-erh?

It is ripe Pu-erh, also called shou Puer.

Does the tea contain coffee?

Do I need to break the mini cake?

No. The mini format is designed for convenient portioning. You can brew one whole piece and allow it to open gradually.

Should I rinse it?

A rinse is optional. Skip the rinse for a stronger coffee aroma from the first cup, or use a very quick rinse if you want the compressed tea to open faster.

Can I add milk?

Can I cold-brew it?
