This “Emperor’s Golden Pu-erh” 茶皇 is an incredibly laborious tea to produce. A wet pile batch made from Ban Pen Village spring harvested tea leaves (Bu Lang Mountains, Menghai) was graded and then the golden pu-erh was hand-separated from the various grades.

Smooth, creamy, sweet, velvety and thick ripe tea. Totally unique and worth of the title “Emperor”!
