Pu Erh, the post-fermented tea from the Yunnan mountains

Pu Erh or Puerh originates from the heart of the Yunnan region in China. In this land, producers harvest leaves from wild tea trees on mountain slopes. These leaves form Mao Cha. Depending on the manufacturing method used, different teas are obtained from Mao Cha: a green tea, called Sheng Cha, or a black tea, called Shu Cha. Pu Erh is often compressed into cake or tuocha form. It's also found loose, especially in the West. Our black Pu Erh tea has undergone post-fermentation and 5 years of aging. This production method gives it a unique woody taste, dried fruit notes, and surprising earthy aromas. By letting your Yunnan black tea mature for additional years, it improves and reveals unexpected flavors.

The benefits and properties of Pu Erh

Post-fermented Puerh infusions offer health benefits. This aged Chinese tea is rich in various antioxidants. Its infusion helps lower bad cholesterol and aids in weight loss. Moreover, the fermentation of the leaves makes this organic black tea excellent for digestion. With aging, the leaves lose their theine concentration. Therefore, the Pu Erh infusion has a lower theine content compared to other Chinese teas. The benefits of this high-quality Yunnan Shu Cha tea are numerous. In addition to its effects on digestion and cholesterol, its unique taste and captivating aromas provide a moment of well-being.
