The reason is older than the gram itself. The weight comes from traditional Chinese units, the jin and the liang, and from how the tea traveled — stacked seven cakes high, wrapped in bamboo, a bundle called a tong. Seven cakes of 357 grams come to about 2.5 kilos: a clean number in the old measures, a strange one in ours. And three, five, and seven are all yang numbers in Chinese tradition, so the weight carries a little luck, too.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNow the fun part. A full gongfu session takes about 4 grams, and 4 grams is plenty — multiple steeps, the whole experience. So one cake gives you roughly 89 sessions. Drink one a day and it lasts just under three months.
