• China Pu Erh, with a medicinal flavor and smoky aftertaste, improves with age unlike other teas that grow stale. It aids weight loss, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol. This large, wiry-leaved tea from the Yunnan province in China, is processed in a double fermentation stage, which imparts an interesting earthy flavor and aroma. Their larger leaf in Camellia sinensis is called Da Ye Zhong. They could be ancient trees with mature leaves that are said to be over 200 years old.  These trees, much taller than other tea brushes, are growing in high temperate regions and the best opportune time to harvest is in mid-spring.
• This tea is very popular in China due to its notoriety as a slimming diet tea. It is also said to relieve nausea and other stomach distresses caused by food-poisoning and the flu virus.
