Tasting Character

The tea is designed around a clean wild-mountain expression: fresh forest-like aromatics, a fruit-leaning fragrance reminiscent of pineapple, golden liquor and a comparatively restrained bitter and astringent edge. Across repeated infusions, the leaves open gradually and the cup becomes softer and more expansive.

How to Brew

Gongfu method: Use approximately 5–8g per 100–150ml gaiwan or teapot. Water around 95–100°C / 203–212°F works well for raw Pu-erh. Give the tea a brief rinse, then start with short steeps of around 8–15 seconds and extend gradually.

For a gentler cup: Use less leaf or shorten the early infusions. Raw Pu-erh is highly responsive to brewing variables, so small changes in leaf quantity and steep time can noticeably change the balance.

When to Drink It

This is an excellent tea for late morning, afternoon or a focused weekend gongfu session. Drink it when you want to compare multiple infusions rather than rush through a single mug. The evolving structure is part of the experience.

Food Pairing

Pair with lightly sweet pastries, nuts, fresh or dried fruit, steamed buns, mooncakes or a simple cheese board. Keep strongly spiced food separate if you want to focus closely on the tea's aroma.

Gifting & Display

The illustrated blue wrapper makes this cake especially attractive as a gift or tea-room object. Display it upright on a wooden stand before opening, or pair it with Jingdezhen porcelain, a tea pick and a small bamboo tray for a complete presentation.

Storage & Aging

Store in a clean, dry, ventilated place away from direct sunlight, excess humidity and odours. Do not keep Pu-erh beside perfume, scented candles, incense or kitchen spices. Stable storage allows the tea to be revisited over time as its character develops.
