If you have ever wanted to begin a journey into Pu-erh, then this award-winning loose Puerh is the one to try. Rich, earthy, and easy on the nose. Yields multiple infusions. This Pu-Erh is a Shou style, which is different from Sheng Pu-Erh in that it is fermented before it is packaged or compressed.

Pu-erh, manufactured from máochá, a type of mostly unoxidized green tea grown in China's Yunnan province, is legendary for its numerous health benefits. This tea only gets better with age.

To make it, unlike traditional teas in which 2 young leaves and a bud are plucked from the bush, 3-4 leaves and a bud are plucked, yielding older, broader leaves more suitable to the fermentation process. Once fermented, the best puehrs are aged like fine wine in the cellar of a French chateau, or cheese on the rack of a Swiss barn. The result is an earthy, musty character that sets the tea apart from all its younger competitors.


According to practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, aged Pu-erh has the ability to induce weigh-loss, fight cancer, protect the kidneys and ward off many other of the causes of early mortality.
