Flavor & Aroma

Expect a bright golden liquor with a clean, lively mouthfeel, gentle floral-herbal aroma and a soft returning sweetness. The leaf structure gives the cup freshness and clarity, while repeated infusions gradually reveal more depth and a longer sweet finish.

How to Brew

Gongfu Style

1. Loosen 6–8g from the edge of the cake.
2. Use a 100–150ml gaiwan or porcelain teapot.
3. Use water around 90–95°C.
4. Give the tea one quick 5-second rinse.
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 around 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, light pastries, nuts, steamed snacks, mild cheeses or less-sweet desserts. Its bright profile also works beautifully as a stand-alone afternoon tea.

Tea-Room Display & Interior Styling

The colorful Jingmai Zhichun wrapper and traditional bamboo tong make this cake especially attractive for tea-room display. Place the wrapped cake upright on a dark wood or stone stand beside a white porcelain gaiwan, glass fairness pitcher and bamboo tea tools. It fits new-Chinese, Japandi, wabi-sabi and study-room interiors particularly well.

Gift Ideas

The 357g format, Jingmai identity and decorative wrapper make this a strong gift for raw-Pu-erh drinkers, housewarmings, host gifts, business gifting and major Chinese festivals. Pair it with a tea pick or porcelain gaiwan for a more complete presentation.

Storage

Store in a clean, dry, ventilated and odor-free environment away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity, perfume, smoke, spices and cleaning products. Raw Pu-erh can continue to develop in aroma and texture when stored well over time.
