Flavor & Aroma

This is a concentrated, comfort-driven ripe-Pu-erh style with a strong sticky-rice fragrance over a mellow, dark fermented tea base. Expect a deep red-brown liquor, soft woody depth, rounded sweetness and a warm glutinous-rice aroma that becomes especially expressive with near-boiling water.

The supplier presents this as a rich-aroma style, so the tea is best suited to drinkers who enjoy a pronounced fragrance rather than a very delicate cup.

How to Brew

Gongfu Style

1. Use one mini brick or enough tea to suit a 100–150ml gaiwan or small teapot.
2. Use water at 95–100°C.
3. Give the tea 1–2 quick rinses of around 5 seconds.
4. Start the first drinking infusion at 8–10 seconds.
5. Increase later steeps gradually by 5–10 seconds.
6. Decant fully after every infusion.

Large Cup or Teapot

Use one mini brick in a larger mug or teapot and start with 300–500ml near-boiling water. Steep for 2–3 minutes, taste, then adjust strength by adding water or shortening later infusions.

Food Pairing

Pair with dim sum, roasted nuts, sesame pastries, dark chocolate, mooncake, mushroom dishes or richer Chinese meals. The sticky-rice aroma also makes it satisfying as a stand-alone after-meal tea.

Home Styling & Tea-Room Display

The kraft-paper wrappers and compact square shape give these mini bricks a rustic traditional look. Display several wrapped pieces in a ceramic tea jar, shallow porcelain bowl or lidded wood box beside a dark clay teapot and small tasting cups. This works especially well in new-Chinese, wabi-sabi, Japandi and warm natural interiors.

For a gift presentation, arrange selected wrapped bricks in a rigid box with two tasting cups or a small gaiwan. Keep the tea itself away from direct sun, steam, perfume, incense and damp storage.

Gift Ideas

The individually wrapped format is ideal for housewarmings, host gifts, Lunar New Year, Mid-Autumn gatherings, office sharing and tea-tasting sets. It is also beginner-friendly because there is no need to break apart a large 357g cake before brewing.

Storage

Store in a clean, dry, ventilated and odor-free place. Keep away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity, spices, perfume, smoke and cleaning products.
