A deep woodsy aroma, earthy character with wilted flower notes and a faint dark chocolate texture. Mellow and grounding.
Pu Erh Poe is extremely versatile - you can steep it for as little as 30 seconds or 30 minutes, whatever pleases your palate. It won't get bitter and is great for multiple infusions. Pu erh Poe makes an excellent digestive tea and can be consumed all through the day due to its low stimulant nature.
Pu-Erh, also called Puer or Puerh, is one of the five main varieties of tea. Unlike all of the others, a Pu erh tea is aged and goes through a natural fermentation process. This fermented tea creates a taste with no astringency and an extraordinarily rich, deeply smooth body.
This tea contains a high level of caffeine | Steep at 100°C for 3-5 minutes.
Pu'erh tea gets its name from a county located in southern Yunnan. There are two types of pu'erh tea: sheng ('green' or 'raw') and shou ('ripe' or 'cooked'). Historically, raw pu'erh was created first. It takes years to slowly age, and if properly stored (pu'erh is essentially a 'living tea', much like wine), holds its value and flavour for decades. Due to extreme demand for this tea, the ripe variety was invented about 40 years ago to speed up the aging process. The tea leaves are piled in gently warmed heaps and allowed to carefully ferment. Ripe pu'erh is usually much darker than the raw pu'erh and often smoother. Raw pu'erh tasted when too young (less than several years old) can be incredibly astringent. This quality mellows out dramatically with age. Both are widely revered in China for their soothing, purifying qualities unmatched by other teas.
