Flavor & Aroma

How to Brew

Gongfu Style

1. Loosen 6–8g from the edge or back of the cake.
2. Use a 100–150ml gaiwan or porcelain teapot.
3. Use water at 90–95°C.
4. Give the tea one quick rinse of around 5 seconds.
5. Start the first drinking infusion at 8–12 seconds.
6. Increase later steeps gradually by 5–10 seconds.
7. Decant fully after each infusion.

Large Teapot Method

Use approximately 4–5g tea per 300ml water at 90–95°C. Steep for 2–3 minutes and shorten the first brew if you prefer a lighter, sweeter cup.

Food Pairing

Pair with fresh fruit, nuts, light pastries, steamed snacks, mild cheeses and less-sweet desserts. Its bright fragrance also makes it a good stand-alone afternoon tea.

Tea-Room Display & Interior Styling

The white-and-green wrapper, tree imagery and classic round cake format work especially well in new-Chinese, Japandi and natural-material interiors. Display the wrapped cake upright on a dark wood, stone or bamboo stand beside a white porcelain gaiwan, glass fairness pitcher and simple tasting cups.

For a more traditional Chinese study, combine it with walnut furniture, ink-brush accessories, raw clay and aged brass. Keep any display location dry and away from direct sun, kitchen steam, perfume and incense.

Gift Ideas

The Bingdao Ancient Tree name, full 357g format and traditional Seven Sons presentation make this an attractive gift for raw-Pu-erh drinkers, tea collectors, housewarmings, business gifting, Lunar New Year and Mid-Autumn gatherings. Pair it with a tea pick or porcelain gaiwan for a complete tea gift.

Storage

Store in a clean, dry, ventilated and odor-free environment away from direct sunlight. Avoid excessive humidity, smoke, spices, perfume and household chemicals. Good storage helps raw Pu-erh continue developing in aroma and texture over time.
