What is Pu-Er Tea ? (Also called Dark or "Black" tea, Pu'er or Pu-Erh tea)

Pu Er is the regular tea which Tibetan and Mongolian drink every day. They believe that Pu Erh tea can help them "digest" meats and may feel sick if not drinking Pu'er tea in a day since they eat a lot of meats as their regular food.

oldest tea trees

(Used for Pu-Er tea, a 1700 years old wild tea tree in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, China)

The oldest tea trees in the world have been found in Yunnan, included are the King of Tea, 1700 years old; the Tea Grandfather, 2700 years old and the Tea Grandmother, 3000 years old.

Are you drink coffee daily? One suggestion for your health: Drink less coffee and try our "Tea Coffee" -Pu'er tea or Black tea which have similar color, good taste and you may add milk or sugar in it, just like coffee. You may even use your coffee maker to make tea, just like the way you make coffee. You may use half coffee and half Pu'er (or black) tea to make Yuan-Yang (Coffee-Tea) --a special Chinese drink in many Hong Kong Tea Restaurants.

Pu-Er is completely fermented tea, the only kind of teas that improves with age much like a fine wine. It is a collectable tea. Many Pu-Er tea collectors in Asia treat it as an investment. Old and valuable pieces of Puer cost more than a $1000 per pound. These fermented naturally over many years, called raw or "green" Pu-Er, are more expensive; those fermented artificially by manual processes are called cooked or "black" Pu-Er.
It is a "living" tea teeming with healthy microbes during it's manufacturing and storage process like yogurt or grape wine. Generally speaking, its flavor is the older the better but depending on the storage conditions (humid or dry). It's very hard to find a piece of Pu-Er tea more than 50 years old and kept in good condition in today's market.

Pu-Er loose tea is traditionally compressed into a variety of shapes and sizes for easy storage, included bricks, frisbee discs ("tea cake"), blocks, mushrooms, birds nests or other shape. The most common and famous one is Pu Er Disc. The best comes from the Yunnan province in South-Western China, including Xishuangbanna area, Simao and Pu-Er county. One of the most famous Pu-Er Discs is called Seven-Tea Discs (Heptacodium Cake) or Yuancha, or Qizi Bingcha (Chitsu Pingcha or Chi Tse Beeng Cha) in Chinese. Tea produced in these areas was therefore called "Puer Tea". This combination of environment, longitude, tea tree varieties, and processing techniques does not exist anywhere else in the world. Hence Pu-Erh is a very special and unique style of tea.

There are a lot of medicinal claims associates with the puer tea. Chinese medicine has long revered the healing powers of this tea and used it as a "herb" for a long time.

Best Season to Drink Pu-Er Tea: Falls; Pu-Er tea is your best choice if you feel a little uncomfortable in stomach after drinking green tea. Pu-Er tea is very good for your digestive system. You may drink the famous Chinese Chrysanthemum-Puer Tea (just add a little chrysanthemum flower into loose puer tea) all seasons.
