Our organic pu-erh tea is hand harvested from wild and semi-wild broad leaf antique tea trees located in the Yunnan province of China. Pu-erh is often referred to as "cooked" due to the fact that sun-dried green tea leaves are transformed from a greenish-golden color to a blackish-red tone. Following the sun-drying period it is fermented in a temperature controled environment, between 136°F-143°F for 35-60 days, with a 7-10 day cooling period.

Over the years pu-erh has garnered a committed following amongst tea connoisseurs who regard it as a sacred relic leftover from ancient tea cultures and traditions. The pu-erh we offer brews up a deep ochre red and has an earthy taste with notes of smoke and moss. It appeals to the senses of both the black tea lover and the green tea lover.

Contains caffeine.
