Pu'erh Tea Aged

What is pu-erh tea?

Pu-erh tea — or pu’er tea — is a unique type of fermented tea that’s traditionally made in the Yunnan Province of China. It’s made from the leaves of a tree known as the “wild old tree,” which grows in the region.

Although there are other types of fermented tea like kombucha, pu-erh tea is different because the leaves themselves are fermented rather than the brewed tea.

Pu-erh is usually sold in compressed “cakes” of tea leaves but can be sold as loose tea also.

Many people drink pu-erh tea because it not only provides the health benefits of tea but also those of fermented food.
