Taste & aroma
The liquor is aromatic, full and sweet, with a distinct honeyed fragrance, clear mountain character and a satisfying returning sweetness. The 25g mini cakes preserve enough leaf mass for a serious gongfu session while remaining convenient to store and divide.
How to brew
Gongfu: Break a 25g mini cake into 3–4 sessions. Use 6–8g in a 100–150ml gaiwan or small teapot with 95–100°C / 203–212°F water. Start with an 8–12 second infusion and extend later steeps gradually.
Large teapot: Use around 10–12g for 500ml of hot water and steep for 2–3 minutes. Re-steep several times, adding time as the compressed leaf opens.
When to drink
This raw Pu-erh is best from late morning through the afternoon, especially when you have time for multiple infusions. The 25g cakes are also practical for sharing between several drinkers at the tea table.
Food pairing
Pair with fresh fruit, lightly roasted nuts, almond pastries, steamed dumplings, mild cheeses or simple rice dishes. Lighter foods allow the tea’s honeyed fragrance and returning sweetness to stay prominent.
Storage & aging
Keep the mini cakes in a clean, dry, ventilated and odor-free place away from direct sunlight and excess humidity. Store in a dedicated tea box, breathable tea paper or suitable Pu-erh storage so the tea can continue developing gradually over time.
Tea-room styling & gifting
The yellow wrappers, bold 班章 calligraphy and compact round form create a strong traditional visual for New Chinese, Zen, collector and contemporary tea-room interiors. Display several wrapped cakes in a bamboo basket or celadon bowl while keeping the remainder protected. The 500g format also works well as a substantial gift for serious Pu-erh drinkers.
