"Sweet Stock" ripe pu-erh brick 2021 huang pian
"Sweet Stock" is a ripe pu erh tea brick pressed from huang pian(黄片) leaves harvested in 2021 in Xigui, Yunnan Province. Huang pian means the mature leaves are used without any buds, which gives this tea its distinctive sweet, smooth character at a price that makes it easy to drink every day.
What you'll taste
This is one of those teas that keeps things simple and does it well. The flavour is gentle and sweet with a leafy, clean quality. There's a natural smoothness that coats the mouth lightly, and the aftertaste is refreshing rather than heavy. I find it settles the stomach nicely after a big meal, which is something ripe pu erh is known for.
Compared to our other ripe pu erh teas like the Ripe Pu-erh 2021 or the "The One" Ripe Cake, this one leans lighter and sweeter.
Brewing guide
Thermos steeping (our favourite way)
Use a 1:200 ratio in a tea flask or good thermos. Add about 2.5g to 500ml of boiling water and let it steep for an hour or longer. Top up with hot water when you're halfway through. This method brings out the sweetness and keeps the tea smooth all day.
Western brewing
Use 2.5g per 250ml with 90-100°C water. Steep for 3-5 minutes. Good for up to 3 infusions.
Gongfu brewing
Use 5g per 150ml gaiwan or teapot. Rinse once with hot water to wake the leaves. Steep 30 seconds for the first brew, adding 10 seconds each time. Up to 8 infusions.
Our note
We keep this one at home as my go-to daily pu erh. When we don't want to think about brewing and just want something warm and sweet in my cup, this is what I reach for. The flask method is how I drink it most days. And it's the most affordable way to try ripe pu erh from our range.

A good quality chen pi at a great price. Much better than the chen pi found in supermarkets.

This is seriously a lovely tea. Smooth flavour and no bitterness at all. I usually like milk with my tea but no problems without milk at all. Will definitely purchase again. Thanks
This is a really handy little flask. Just the right size and the temp gauge is a great addition so you know how hot the contents are . Not too big or small just right😄
I love smokiness in most things so when I saw this Lapsang Souchong Original Smoked I grabbed a sample to try and I was blown away.
From the moment you open the packet the aroma of the smokiness hits front and centre.
With smallish leaves I eagerly brewed up. I was presented with a beautiful full amber liquid and the smoke hitting my nose was welcoming.
The only way I can describe this tea is it brings back memories of camping down by the creek on our farm burning pine cones. It’s like a warm hug being able to taste the smell. It reminds me of the smokiness in your clothes once you walk away from that fire.
Full bodied and lovely mouth feel.
I want to write this because I am genuinely impressed with the service I received.
I had an issue with one of the teas I purchased and I emailed A Moment of Tea about it. That morning I received a email back from Zachary profusely apologising about the mishap. In the email Zachary thanked me for the email because they actually found an issue in the OS supplier and worked towards a solution with them that day.
Zachary took the time to explain to me the process as to how this tea was produced and why the issue occurred and what’s happening to fix the issue.
To say the least I was blown away and again would like to thank Zachary for the communication through email. I highly highly recommend anyone with a Chinese Tea love to purchase from here as the teas I have tried so far are top notch. Tea reviews coming.
Jasmine Dragon Pearls / Buddhas Tears - Very subtle Jasmine comes through.
Lapsang Souchong Original Smoked - It’s like getting a hug from the camp fire on your camping trip. Immediately bought back memories of camping and having that smokey smell through your clothes (my favourite atm)
Shou Mei White Tea - very refreshing and bright white tea
So delicious, and a nice touch
I am very impressed with both the service and products. This is my first time I have ordered anything, and will definitely be returning. Many thanks, and congratulations.
I'm very happy with the samples sizes in the Sampler pack, as it enables me to share cups with friends and family to find out what their particular preferences are. Many thanks.
Purchased these at a market on holidays in Tassie several years ago, having been ordering ever since! My whole family love the dragon pearls, beautiful green tea and pretty to watch open up.
Mandarin Pu-erh Post-fermented Tea
Very satisfying flask.
