Pu’erh tea is a type of fermented tea that originated in China’s Yunnan province over 1,000 years ago. It was traditionally used as a form of currency and traded along the Tea Horse Road between China and Tibet.

Pu’erh tea is unique because it is fermented, which is a process that involves the use of bacteria and fungi to break down the tea leaves. The hot and humid climate of Yunnan provided ideal conditions for the fermentation process, and over time, tea producers learned to control and manipulate the fermentation to achieve different flavours and textures in the tea.

It has been consumed for centuries in China for its potential health benefits, including aiding digestion, reducing inflammation, and promoting heart health. This tea is rich in antioxidants and has a lower caffeine content than other teas, making it a great alternative for those looking for a low-caffeine option. Ripe Pu’erh tea is also known for its calming and soothing properties, making it an excellent choice for relaxing after a long day.

Ripe Pu-erh can also be re-steeped several times, with each subsequent brew revealing a new flavor profile. It is a great tea to pair with rich, oily, or spicy foods, as it helps to cut through the flavors and cleanse the palate.

It is also a good choice for those looking for a low-caffeine alternative, as it contains significantly less caffeine than traditional tea.
