Pu Erh Tea

Pu Erh is an extraordinary post-fermented tea from China's Yunnan Province, near the border with Myanmar. The carefully selected tea leaves undergo a meticulous process - from picking, withering, and heating to rolling and drying - before they are aged under strict humidity control for a period ranging from one year to an impressive 70 years. Some of the rarest Pu Erh teas are sourced from wild tea trees over 1,000 years old, imparting them with unparalleled depth and character. This tea variety is renowned for its potential health benefits, including supporting digestion and lowering cholesterol levels.
