This “Emperor’s Golden Pu-erh” 茶皇 is an incredibly laborious tea to produce. A wet pile batch made from Meng Song Village spring harvested tea leaves (Menghai County) was graded and then the golden pu-erh was hand-separated from the various grades. Then the tea was aged for one year in Menghai, giving it an incredibly smooth and sweet taste without much wet pile taste. Further aging will bring this tea into a state of smooth perfection!
Smooth, creamy, sweet, velvety and thick ripe tea. Totally unique and worthy of the title “Emperor!”
