Pu-erh

Pu-erh

The most widely celebrated tea in Asia, this mysterious tea is aged in secret caves for several years where it takes on a sweet, earthy aroma. Its health benefits to you are immeasurable.
Ingredients: Aged Pu-erh Tea    •

Why it’s Special:

** Pu-erh is a fermented tea, giving it a dark, earthy flavor
** The Chinese believe it is good for digestion, making it great to drink after overindulging on a big meal
** Studies have shown it is good for cholesterol
** The only tea that tastes better as it ages
** Formed into mini “tuocha” cakes, each cake making either a larger cup or a small pot

What to be Careful of:

** Like caviar or coffee, Pu-erh is a bit of an acquired taste. But, it is highly addictive (flavor wise) once you start drinking it
** You must “rinse” the tea for 20 seconds before serving to remove a fermented flavor
** Quite strong. The aroma is reminiscent of a hand rolled cigar
** Use multiple, short steeps to maximize its flavor
** Purists drink it “neat,” but we find it pairs well with milk

Who it’s for:

Those who want to eliminate the “too full” feeling after eating a large meal
Coffee Drinkers and/or Cigar Smokers
People who appreciate unique flavors (like caviar, cigars, coffee and some sushi)
Chinese Pu-erh tea is grown at elevations of over 7000ft. Here it undergoes an extra fermentation process because of the cooler, thinner air. This allows active microbes to live on in the tea. This “living tea” is often used in traditional Chinese medicine and its aging process is carefully hidden Our Pu-erh tea, like all true Pu-erh, comes from the secret gardens of Yunnan Province.

*Important Note: This picture is of our previous Pu-erh. Our new Pu-erh is in a Toucha shape, which are small compressed disks. Sorry for the inconvenience while we update our picture.
