Pu-erh tea is one of the oldest type of tea in China with a rich history of over 1700 years that can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 AD). During it’s height of popularity, pu erh tea was freely traded and even used as money for the bartering of goods.

Premium blends were offered as a tribute tea to the Emperor of China and, to this day, remain a highly valuable commodity. It is revered in China as a traditional medicinal tea with many health benefits — and regarded by tea connoisseurs as the King of Tea for its unique flavor and aroma.

Throughout Chinese tea history, pu-erh tea has been known for its unique ability to undergo a post-fermentation process designed for further aging. Like classic wines, this aging process allows these fine teas to develop added complexity in character, while shedding harsh youthful elements.

Black blends have an imposing aroma of heavy earth comparable to the sweet fragrance of mineral deposits emerging from deep within the forest floor after a heavy downpour. Good brews have excellent clarity and clean flavors that warms the body and soul. :)
