Pu'erh style of aged tea

£5.60

Pu'erh tea is truly fascinating! Originating from Yunnan Province, its unique properties set it apart from other teas. What makes Pu'erh special is not just its rich, full-bodied flavor that evolves over time but also the fermentation and aging process. This process involves microbial activity, which contributes to its earthy, sometimes complex taste profiles.

Health Benefits of Pu'erh Tea

Pu'erh tea is often appreciated for its potential health benefits:

  • Detoxifying Properties: It is believed to help cleanse the body of toxins and neutralize free radicals, thanks to its antioxidant content.

  • Metabolism Support: Many drink it for its reputed ability to aid digestion and potentially support weight management.

  • Gut Health: The fermentation process can create probiotics that are beneficial for gut health.

Brewing Tips

To get the best flavor and experience:

  1. Quantity: Use 2-3 grams of tea leaves per 200 ml of water.

  2. Temperature: Brew at 90ºC-95ºC (just below boiling to protect the delicate compounds).

  3. Steeping Time: Let it steep for 4-5 minutes. Experiment with longer brewing times to deepen the flavor.

As Pu'erh tea can be re-steeped multiple times, subsequent brews often reveal new and lighter notes compared to the initial, bolder taste.
