Chinese Pu-erh tea

Pu-erh tea is a traditional Chinese tea from Yunnan Province, known for its distinctive aging process. It undergoes fermentation and microbial transformation, resulting in a rich, earthy flavor that deepens over time. Pu-erh is often pressed into cakes or bricks and is classified into two main types: raw (Sheng) and ripe (Shou). Raw Pu-erh ages naturally, whereas ripe Pu-erh undergoes an accelerated fermentation. Revered for its health benefits, such as aiding digestion and reducing cholesterol, Pu-erh is treasured by tea enthusiasts worldwide.
