Product Description
Pu Erh tea gets its name from a small town located in southern Yunnan. Tea had been cultivated in this part of China for about four thousand years. Its popularity owes much to the many trade routes that flowed through this region. With popularity came royal inquiry. And so, Pu Erh teas have been offered in tribute to many a generation of Chinese emperors. It is among the few teas that improves with age. Similar to wine, one may find very expensive Pu Erhs that are decades old."Slimming" is one of the properties the locals attribute to it. Recent studies seem to show there is some validity to this reputation. This tea's unique fermentation process imparts it with some cholesterol-fighting powers. Pu Erh tea, perhaps the most esoteric of Chinese varieties, has a pronounced earthy aroma and taste. Its woodsy, almost mushroomy flavor often places personal tastes on separate sides of the fence. Some love its flavor, while others do not. This is a great introduction to high quality Pu Erh so that you can find out which side of the fence you sit on.These gourmet teabags combine convenience and quality in an attractive package. Their pyramid shape permits them to hold twice as many tea leaves. The bags are individually wrapped and attractively packaged 15 to a box. A dispenser at the bottom permits single-bag servings.
