PU ERH TEA

There are few teas more complex or unusual than Pu Erh. Produced in the Chinese province of Yunnan, this tea has a distinctly deep and earthy flavour. All tea leaves come from the same plant (Camellia Sinensis), however the different processing methods result in the different types of tea: whilst green teas are not fermented, oolong teas are partially fermented, and black teas are fully fermented, Pu Erh teas are ‘post-fermented’ – this is because after fermentation there is prolonged storage stage under high humidity.
