“This plain foil sample pack arrived from Zen tea labeled simply Puerh Loose leaf. There was no notation of what vintage or what farm or factory crafted this tea. I’m getting skeptical at this...” Read full tasting note

Description

Pu-erh or Pu-er teas are teas whose leaves are re-hydrated after fermentation, to enable a second fermentation; they are called post-fermented teas. After production, these teas are stored in cool cellars or buried in the ground for one or more years. The dark to light brown Sinensis leaf develops a strong, spicy and earthy taste and an earthy and woody flavour. The infusion has a light brown color. This ancient wonder is renowned in China as a health elixir and has shown tremendous potential in helping to lower cholesterol naturally.
