Description

Also known as vintage tea, pu’erh has long been the tea of choice by many Emperors for longevity. Not to mention the Chinese have been drinking it for centuries to aid digestion – so you know it has to be good. Like any fine wine, this hearty pu’erh from China’s Yunnan province only gets better with age. Ours was cooked, heated and fully dried to speed up the aging process, so you don’t have to wait to try this velvety brew at its best. And with notes of rich cocoa and dried fruit, it’s a bold and pleasantly earthy tea goes down like liquid silk.
