Pu-erh Tea

Pu-erh tea is a traditional Chinese fermented tea, valued for its rich, earthy flavor and potential health benefits. It is made from aged tea leaves, often pressed into various shapes like bricks or cakes. The fermentation process involves microbial activity, which enhances complexity and depth over time. Pu-erh can be classified into "raw" (sheng) or "ripe" (shou), with the latter undergoing accelerated fermentation. Known for aiding digestion and detoxification, it is enjoyed both for its unique taste and cultural significance, with aging often increasing its value and flavor complexity.
