Taste & aroma
The liquor is mellow and smooth with a warm mature-tea fragrance, soft sweetness and a rounded mouthfeel. As each pearl opens, the brew develops greater depth while keeping the easy-drinking character that makes ripe Pu-erh especially suitable for repeated everyday infusions.
How to brew
Gongfu: Use one 6g pearl in a 120–180ml gaiwan or small teapot. Brew with 95–100°C / 203–212°F water. Rinse briefly, then start with a 15–20 second infusion. Extend later steeps as the pearl loosens and opens.
Everyday mug: Use one pearl for 300–400ml of boiling water and steep for 2–3 minutes. Re-steep several times, adding time to later infusions.
When to drink
This tea works well after breakfast, after lunch or during a relaxed evening session. The pre-portioned 6g format is also convenient for work, travel and guest service.
Food pairing
Pair with roasted nuts, dates, dark chocolate, sesame pastries, mooncake, dim sum or richer savoury dishes. The tea’s smooth mature profile complements toasted, nutty and caramel-like flavours particularly well.
Storage & aging
Keep the pearls in a clean, dry and odor-free place away from direct sunlight and excess humidity. A dedicated tea tin, ceramic jar or tea box works well. Stable storage helps preserve their mature aroma and rounded texture.
Tea-room styling & gifting
The individually wrapped pearls suit New Chinese, Zen and contemporary tea-room styling. Display a small selection in a porcelain bowl, Yixing vessel or glass tea jar while keeping the remaining tea protected. Their one-pearl-per-session format also makes them easy to include in premium Chinese-tea gift sets and tasting collections.
