Authentic Tea Gift from Nature

Puerh tea, also spelled "pu'erh" or "pu'er," is a fermented tea from Yunnan province, China, made from the large-leaf variety of Camellia sinensis. It undergoes either natural fermentation (raw or sheng puerh) or accelerated fermentation (ripe or shou puerh).

Primarily grown in Yunnan's mountainous regions, puerh thrives in high humidity and varying temperatures, with the soil contributing to its unique flavor profile.

What makes puerh tea truly special is its aging process. Like fine wine, it gets better over time, developing rich, complex flavors that can take years or even decades to mature.

Pu-erh tea delivers a unique tasting experience that appeals to many. Whether fresh or aged, it remains a nice choice for tea enthusiasts everywhere.

How to Brew Puerth Tea

Break Off Tea Leaves: Use a tea pick or tea knife to gently pry off a few grams (about 0.18-0.35oz) of tea leaves from the puer cake. Be careful not to crush the tea leaves, because whole pieces of tea leaves will provide better flavor extraction.

Rinse Puer Tea: Drop tea leaves in a brewing vessel, pour near-boiling water over them, then discard the water; Steep Puerh Tea: Use water (around 205℉) and steep for 15-30 seconds (if teapot or gaiwan) or 2-4 minutes (western teaware) before being consumed.

Subsequent Infusions: You can usually brew pu-erh tea multiple times (up to 8-10 infusions. Increase the steeping time gradually with each infusion to extract more flavor. Take your time to enjoy the brewing process and the flavors as they evolve with each infusion.
