How to Brew
Gongfu Style
- Loosen 7–8g from the edge of the cake.
- Use a 100–150ml gaiwan or Yixing teapot.
- Use water at 95–100°C.
- Rinse 1–2 times for around 5 seconds.
- Start the first drinking infusion at 8–10 seconds.
- Increase later steeps gradually by 5–10 seconds.
- Decant fully after each infusion.
Large Teapot Method
Use approximately 5g tea per 300ml near-boiling water. Steep for 2–3 minutes, pour out completely and re-steep to taste.
Food Pairing
Pair with dim sum, roasted nuts, sesame pastries, dark chocolate, mooncake, mushroom dishes or richer Chinese meals. Its warm sticky-rice aroma also makes it satisfying on its own after meals.
Tea-Room Display & Interior Styling
The kraft-toned wrapper with bold metallic calligraphy has a warm, traditional presence. Display the wrapped cake upright beside dark wood, aged brass, bamboo or raw clay accessories for a refined new-Chinese tea corner. It also works well in wabi-sabi and warm Japandi interiors where natural materials are the focus.
Gift Ideas
The 357g full-cake format makes this more substantial than mini tuocha or mini bricks, while the sticky-rice aroma is approachable for newer Pu-erh drinkers. It works well for housewarmings, host gifts, Lunar New Year, Mid-Autumn gatherings, office gifting and tea-tasting sets.
Storage
Store in a clean, dry, ventilated and odor-free environment away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity, perfume, smoke, spices and cleaning products.
