About this tea
Emperor is a tea of legendary stature, crafted from the renowned Red Robe cultivar in Zhengyan, the heart of the Wuyi Mountains’ tea production. This tea is prized for its robust, multi-layered flavors and mineral-rich depth, leaving a lingering aftertaste that speaks to its exceptional quality. Zhengyan’s high altitude, rocky soil, and constant mist create a unique microclimate where tea plants thrive, absorbing minerals and nutrients that impart unparalleled complexity to the leaves. Slow growth under these ideal conditions enhances the depth and richness of flavor, making this tea a favorite among connoisseurs. Traditional techniques, including careful handpicking, meticulous rolling, and multi-stage charcoal roasting, are executed with unmatched precision, ensuring that each batch reflects the mastery of its makers. Emperor stands as the epitome of Wuyi’s tea heritage, offering a drinking experience that is as profound and enduring as the history and culture it represents.
