Aris Springs Organic Tea Store | Pu-erh Tea
Pu-erh Tea is a fully fermented tea which can only be made with a specific variety of broad-leaf tea plant.
Pu-erh or Puer tea is a fermented tea, named after Pu'er county in Yunnan, China. It is a very unusual tea, because unlike other teas which are consumed within two years after harvest, it can be over 50 years old and is usually aged at least 1-4 years. Over this time it acquires an earthy flavour which is due to fermentation.
Pu-erh is considered a medicinal tea in China.
The Pu-erh tea has been subject to a number of health studies. A number of medical studies have substantiated claims that the tea helps reduce cholesterol levels and saturated fats in human; it could assist in weight loss.
Researchers in China showed that it is the best amongst all teas for body slimming function. Unlike other teas, the longer Pu-erh is stored, provided it is done properly, the better the taste and quality become. Old vintages of Pu-erh are quite expensive and rare in the international tea market.
