Description
Dark, fine leaf. Earthy tart taste. An acquired taste. Pu Erh is to tea, as what stilton is to cheese.Pu Erh tea is a post-fermented black tea produced in Yunnan, China. The process of making this tea is a little different from most black teas, as when the leaves are heated the enzymes are not completely deactivated. The tea is then stored in a high humidity environment which means the leaves continue to ripen. Similar to wine, high quality Pu Erh can been 'cellared' until it reaches the desired maturity. Sometimes up to 60 years. It is then incredibly precious and sort after.
