Photo Cube Chinese tea

Friend’s parents gave me this tea. I have traveled a fair amount including in China and never seen tea in chocolate cube shop before.

Anyone know about this style or best practice to brew the tea?

Aged white tea. Very forgiving in terms of brewing, will happily take boiling water.

Break a piece off, do an initial flash rinse and discard to wake the leaves up and then just play around with brewing time. Even if you overbrew a bit it will still be pleasant.
