About 2001 Emperor’s Royal Pu-erh Ripe Loose Leaf Tea

This 2001 Emperor’s Royal Pu-erh Ripe Loose Leaf Tea comes from Jingmai Mountain, Pu’er City, Yunnan Province. It is made from Yunnan large-leaf sun-dried maocha, using tender, bud-rich material sourced from tea trees approximately 120 years old.

“Emperor’s Royal” refers to a traditional high-grade selection of ripe Pu-erh, characterised by a high proportion of fine buds and strict material grading.

The tea underwent traditional pile fermentation and has been naturally aged for over twenty years in dry storage. Over time, harsh fermentation notes have faded, resulting in a mature, stable profile with a clear and lingering aged aroma.

Appearance & Taste

The dry leaves are fine, tight, and evenly shaped, with a deep reddish-brown colour. The brewed liquor is clear and deep red-brown. The mouthfeel is smooth and full-bodied, with notes of jujube and aged wood, followed by deeper aged tones and subtle medicinal nuances. The finish is clean, composed, and long-lasting.

Taste: Earthy, Sweet, Woody

Origin

Yunnan

The tea originates from Jingmai Mountain, located in the Lancang Lahu Autonomous County of Pu’er City, Yunnan Province. This high-elevation region is known for its misty climate, well-preserved ecology, and tea trees growing alongside native forest vegetation. The use of approximately 120-year-old tea trees provides a stable foundation for fermentation and long-term aging.

    Similar to King of Pu-erh tea, this tea creates a red soup and has a rich fragrance and earthy taste.

  5. English

    Luka K.

    Beautiful tea, the fragrance can be likened to a damp-dewy forest filled with mushrooms, as well as other considerable earthy notes. When brewed properly – there is a profound salty/caramel sweetness that comes through. Highly recommend.

    If you’re looking to get rid of a sore throat or a severe congestion, this tea is one of your best bets. It also helps ease constipation better than green tea. No matter what your diet is, this tea works the best in reliving acidity and loosening the bowels.
