Pu Erh is an unusual red tea is a fermented high quality large leaf tea from the Yunnan Province of China. It develops a rich, earthy aroma and sweet stone fruit and nut notes in part due to its unique production. After an initial drying in large woks to kill off most bacteria it undergoes a slow microbial fermentation. After this, unlike green teas, which are air dried before being sun dried, Pu Erh is not air dried, retaining a small amount of enzymes which contribute to the final flavour. A long fermentation is achieved by the naturally occurring bacteria and yeasts left on the leaves which develop flavours over months and sometimes years.
This tea is packed full of health benefits, full of antioxidants, aiding weight loss and boosting the immune system. The experts are our dedicated Pu-Erh customers who keep on coming back for more and they're looking well for it!
