The Pu Erh brick: the famous compressed black tea from Yunnan

Pu Erh, also spelled Puerh, is an aged tea originating from the Yunnan province in China. Consumed for over 1,000 years, Puerh is highly appreciated by the Chinese. This unique black tea is an exceptional product of superior quality. Production begins with picking leaves from the wild tree, which grows in the Yunnan mountains. The leaves are withered and then dried. The organic Puerh tea is then compressed into cake or brick form. This ancestral technique allowed the Chinese to easily transport Puerh on the tea route. The cake also promotes better preservation of the leaves.
