The Legacy of Imperial Leaf Tea
We travel across Asia’s most storied mountains and
hidden estates in search of ultra-premium, limited-reserve teas.
That is why all our teas are stored in premium pewter canisters. The metal’s natural stability protects the tea and allows it to age gracefully, while the canister itself stands as a symbol of enduring elegance.
Every tea in our collection is curated for those who appreciate what royalty once reserved for themselves the same spirit that inspired the name Imperial Leaf Tea.

In partnership with Royal Selangor, the world’s most revered pewter artisans since 1885 each canister becomes a fusion of craftsmanship and permanence, where artistry safeguards tradition.
The Collaboration of Masters
We believe tea is more than a drink
It is a symbol of culture, character, and quiet power.
Mastery of Craft
Each harvest is hand-selected from the mist-veiled cliffs of Wuyi.
What follows is not production — but curation.
A decade of careful aging under conditions designed to coax depth, nuance, and character.

皇家一号 · 2014 RESERVE 珍藏
High in the mist-veiled cliffs of Wuyi Mountain grows a lineage of tea once reserved for emperors and later gifted to world leaders.
From Bei Dou Yi Hao, the first-generation cultivar descended from the original Da Hong Pao mother trees that produced the world’s most expensive teas, comes 皇家一号 — Imperial No.1, the modern heir to this imperial legacy and the flagship of Imperial Leaf Tea.
Hand-harvested more than ten years ago in 2014, it has developed remarkable smoothness and a lingering natural sweetness that only time can create.
To preserve and perfect its aging, every batch of Imperial No.1 is stored in a custom-designed pewter canister crafted in partnership with Royal Selangor, the world’s finest pewter house. Pewter’s natural thermal stability and non-reactive properties create the ideal environment for the tea to mature gracefully, enhancing its depth and aroma year after year.

ETERNAL BEAUTY
长春美人
In the heart of the Forbidden City stood 长春宫 (The Palace of Eternal Spring) — the residence of the Empress, a place where grace was nurtured and beauty was said to transcend time.
Inspired by this legacy, 长春美人 — Eternal Beauty was created for women who believe that true youth is preserved through balance, care, and daily ritual.
Made from wild-grown, organic Anxi Tie Guan Yin, the highest grade of its kind, each leaf is hand-harvested and gently roasted to reveal a soft orchid fragrance with natural sweetness.
Rich in antioxidants and minerals, it helps refresh the complexion, support circulation, and promote youthful vitality from within.
TEA OF PROSPERITY
招财御茶
In ancient times, the finest Gong Ting Pu Erh was prepared exclusively for the imperial court. Only the tender golden tips of the Pu Erh leaf were chosen, prized for their smooth texture, mellow aroma, and full body.
These delicate buds became a symbol of wealth and longevity, reserved for those of status and refinement.
招财御茶 — Tea of Prosperity continues that legacy. Harvested from Yunnan’s ancient tea trees and aged since 2003, it has developed a deep, earthy fragrance with notes of honey and red dates.

IMPERIAL NO.1 · 2024 Reserve
皇家一号 · 2024 RESERVE 典藏
While Imperial No.1 (2014 Reserve) stands as a rare vintage aged for over a decade, the 2024 Edition offers a more accessible way to experience the same legendary lineage of Da Hong Pao.
This younger expression preserves the signature depth and mineral sweetness of its heritage while introducing a brighter, more delicate character suited for modern collectors and connoisseurs.
Sealed in a handcrafted pewter canister, as each vintage matures, its rarity and value continue to appreciate. With market prices appreciating by an estimated 260% each year, the 2024 Edition serves as both an elegant introduction to the Imperial Leaf Tea legacy and a wise beginning for collectors looking to grow their portfolio of fine teas.
