Product Description
This Imperial Palace ripe pu-erh, crafted in 2005 by the renowned Dayi tea factory, is made from high-grade sun-dried raw tea leaves. The tea consists of tender strands abundant with buds, and carries a clean, aged aroma with no lingering fermentation notes.

The cake is well-rounded and neatly compressed, showcasing elegant, uniform leaves adorned with golden tips. Upon brewing, the golden buds unfurl gracefully as the clear water gradually turns a rich red, releasing a warm, earthy fragrance that fills the air.

A gentle sip reveals a deeply mellow, smooth, and richly aromatic liquor—harmonious and uplifting in both flavor and spirit.
