Description

• Item No. B08456-1 Pu Erh (Pu Er) Fine Quality
• Well documented by Chinese and Japanese medical research groups, this tea helps lower cholesterol and triglycerides, aid digestion, and cleanse the blood. The leaves of this tea come from the Yunnan province large-leaf variety of broad-leafed tea tree. This type of tree may be more closely related to the original ancient tea tree of pre-glaciation times than the smaller-leaved one. This grade of Pu Erh is still a mild tea, for persons with strong or weak constitution. However those not accustomed to it might not enjoy the “old” – perhaps “elemental” or “earthy” are better words – taste, particularly in the first infusion. The liquor is in dark red color and the taster is mellow-like. You may check up our higher grade of China Pu Erh to have a try.
• Actually enzymes present in the tea plant oxidises most black teas. Pu Erh tea is fermented microbially by molds, bacteria and yeasts present on the harvested leaves of the tea plant, and thus is truly or totally in its fermentation. There are two main styles of pu erh tea production: a traditional, longer production process known as shēng (“raw”) pu erh; and a modern, accelerated production process known as shóu (“ripe”) pu erh. Our Pu Erh belongs to the latter.
