puerh tea

Puerh tea is a fermented tea originating from Yunnan, China, known for its unique aging process that enhances flavor over time. It’s made from compressed tea leaves, which undergo microbial fermentation and oxidation, resulting in complex, earthy flavors that can improve with age. Puerh can be enjoyed young or aged for several years, developing deeper notes. It contains antioxidants and may aid digestion. The tea’s distinctive taste and rich, malty aroma make it popular among tea enthusiasts, with varieties ranging from raw (sheng) to cooked (shou), each offering different flavor profiles and aging potential.
