Imperial Ripe Pu'er Tea | 2025 Award-Winning Yunnan Aged Tea

Completely natural! Sourced from wild glutinous rice leaves (a herbaceous plant) from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, using traditional Dai fermentation techniques. The ripe tea naturally absorbs the essence of the fragrant leaves with no artificial flavoring or additives. The aroma is pure and elegant, like fresh glutinous rice, and drinking it is both safe and natural.

Regular commercial glutinous rice pu-erh tea is absolutely safe! Glutinous rice leaves are a traditional edible plant in Yunnan and are non-toxic when used appropriately (added at very low ratios, approximately 20:1). Only excessive consumption could cause discomfort (such as nausea), but tea factories strictly control the dosage, and qualified products are safe to drink. Those with cold constitutions can consume moderate amounts with no scientific evidence of toxicity.

Suitable for office workers, those who want to cut grease, and those seeking stomach care. Suitable for all seasons with a mild tea nature, aids digestion, cuts grease, warms and protects the stomach, and relieves fatigue. The glutinous aroma is clean and sweet combined with the richness of ripe pu-erh, with lingering aftertaste and long throat resonance after drinking. A perfect daily light indulgence, especially ideal after greasy meals.

Super simple! Take 1 piece of 4g tuocha with 150ml tea vessel and 100°C boiling water. Rinse the tea for 10 seconds (quick pour-off), steep the first 3 infusions for 5-10 seconds, then extend by 5-10 seconds for each subsequent infusion. Can brew 6-8 times or more. The first and second infusions showcase the strongest glutinous aroma, middle infusions blend the richness, and final infusions offer lingering sweetness and aftertaste. Both gaiwan and purple clay pot work well.

Extremely durable! Can normally brew 6-8 times or even more. The first and second infusions are dominated by glutinous aroma with elegant and lingering notes; infusions 3-5 blend the glutinous aroma with the depth of ripe tea, smooth and rich; later infusions offer lasting aftertaste and sweet throat resonance. The liquor is deep red and translucent, neither bitter nor astringent, with excellent value for money.

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from odors. Shelf life is 18-24 months (actual duration depends on packaging label). The individual sealed packaging locks in freshness perfectly; after opening, consume promptly or transfer to an airtight container. Avoid direct sunlight, moisture, and odors. The longer it ages, the more harmonious the glutinous aroma and aged character become.

Ripe tea is mild and non-irritating, so small amounts on an empty stomach are fine (it's recommended to eat something first). Low caffeine content means drinking it at night won't affect sleep. If you're sensitive to caffeine, you can reduce consumption after afternoon. Those with sensitive stomachs should start with small amounts and increase gradually as they adapt.

This tea is well-fermented and mild in nature, with a smooth entry that's neither bitter nor astringent, and the glutinous aroma is clean and sweet—very easy to enjoy. Beginners are recommended to start with 1 piece and use short steeps (5-8 seconds), and you'll quickly fall in love with that "glutinous rice" aroma and aftertaste. Many people become addicted after just one try!

The biggest highlight: Yunnan wild glutinous rice leaves + premium ripe tea create a beautiful collision of two treasures with rich layered aromas (glutinous sweetness + aged richness), neither bitter nor dry, with superior grease-cutting and stomach-care benefits. The 4g mini tuocha is portable with individual sealed packaging and completely natural with no additives. Perfect for daily drinking or gifting with great face value, excellent value for money, and worth stocking up on!
