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. At $150, that’s about $1.69 per session, or about $51 a month — about the cost of a coffee habit, for one of the great mountain teas, every day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 12px; margin: 0 0 2em;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 160px; background: #faf6ef; padding: 1.25em 1em; border-radius: 8px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 1.8em; font-weight: bold; color: #8b3a1f; line-height: 1;\"\u003e89\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 0.9em; opacity: 0.75; margin-top: 0.35em;\"\u003esessions per cake\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 160px; background: #faf6ef; padding: 1.25em 1em; border-radius: 8px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 1.8em; font-weight: bold; color: #8b3a1f; line-height: 1;\"\u003e~$1.69\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 0.9em; opacity: 0.75; margin-top: 0.35em;\"\u003eper gongfu session\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 160px; background: #faf6ef; padding: 1.25em 1em; border-radius: 8px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 1.8em; font-weight: bold; color: #8b3a1f; line-height: 1;\"\u003e3 mo\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 0.9em; opacity: 0.75; margin-top: 0.35em;\"\u003eof daily tea\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: none; border-top: 1px solid #d4c8b5; margin: 2.5em 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0 0 1.5em;\"\u003eBrew it on the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.purelandtea.org\/products\/pure-land-tea-set-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePure Land Tea Set\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e for the full gongfu experience.
