"Emperor" (霸王青饼) is one of the award-winning and featured raw Pu'er tea of Chen Sheng Hao, made with ORGANIC large-leaf arbor tea tree leaves from tea mountains over 1800m high in Bu Lang Mountain. This product has been released since 2009. It is well known as a raw Pu'er tea that has strong and penetrating characteristics like "Emperor". It has strong bitterness upfront, penetrating aroma, pronounced salivation and sweet-after-taste, long cooling, and powerful Cha Qi. It can last for 15 steeps and still have good taste. This Pu'er tea is worth owning and revisiting after storing for years.

After a long period of aging, the appearance of tea leaves is reddish-brown, and the hairy tips and buds turned into tawny. The dry leaves smell woody and slightly earthy smelling.

Taste

Aged "Emperor" raw Pu'er has developed a distinct aged taste (Chen Wei). The "Chen Wei" is considered a part of the charm of Pu'er tea as the tea becomes more mellow, smooth, and complex. The depth and body have a strong bitterness with sweet-after-taste and powerful "Cha Qi".
