The leaves of this tea come from an organic tea garden at an elevation of about 1,800 meters, in Puer County. The mild, humid climate and the mountainous geography lead this garden to be shrouded in clouds and mist year-round, and under the nourishment of sufficient water, the leaves from the tea plants here can be kept tender and fresh for a long time. Meanwhile, the abundant rainfall gives this tea its rich color and superior taste. The farmers choose the highest grade raw materials to make this tea. The word Palace in its name mean highest grade and it is based on a grade which was supplied to the Imperial Court during Han Dynasty more than 1,800 years ago. The aroma of the tea is like sweet rice, and it has a delicate, soft taste, thick in the mouth and with a rich rice-sweet aftertaste.
Along with the superior natural geography, the managers of this tea garden apply the concepts of modern scientific management – as in, they control the distances between the growing trees, they weed the garden at regular intervals, and they prevent and cure pest infestations by using physical insecticidal methods and lure boards.

Yunnan SourcingBegan with a brief rinse followed by a minute of steeping. The rinse was a bit fishy in aroma but after the first steep old civil war stone and wood house revealed itself. The mouth feel is incredibly smooth. It coats your mouth like a silk blanket. Thick. Speaking of which, satin or silk sheets are probably the hardest to sleep on. Too slippery. The liquor color is very, very dark, like coffee. Deep forest notes. Wet woods. Dry desert woods. Malt o meal?

I was looking for this one, but as shu puerhs aren’t my thing usually, I decided not to order it. I have received a loose leaf sample of this instead of thick chunks.

It is decent, though not anyhow unique. Quite woody and sweet, but not much complex flavour profile.
I did two steeps, one in yesterday afternoon and second this morning. Both were pretty much same and both were quite thick too. A nice surprise in conclusion.
