Pu-Er, P'uerh Tea
PU-ER TEA
According to tradition, Pu-Er tea removes toxins, cleanses the body & even reduces body fat. A favorite in Southern China. Pu-er is perfect after a meal or to accompany desert. Complex,
earthy & very dark.
Pu Er tea is a tea that was originated from Wen Lan Province of China. It is highly fermented tea (almost fermented to the same degrees as black tea). In many cases, the Pu Er tea is stored for years before it goes to the market places.
Pu'er
Chinese name : Pu'er, pu'erh
Origin : Leaves are dried & then undergo microbial fermentation during processing. Various forms exist from compressed or 'brick' tea to rolled loose-leaf. Young pu'ers up to 10 years old often retain an astringent green tea flavour. Older pu'ers take on a rich & complex panoply of flavours, & it is the rare, old pu'ers (of 30 years plus) which are sought after by health-conscious Chinese tea connoissuers.
Taste : Poor grades bitter & somewhat earthy, top grades smooth & sweet.
Yunna Pu Er & Anhui Liu An are the most oustanding.
Pu'er is possibly the most complicated tea, just because of its many different ways of processing & shapping. Also, because of the aging factor, it is a tea that can change over time, for better or worse, having a life span similar to fine wine, except with Pju'er every few years or so you can break off a piece & brew it & enjoy it !
P'UERH TEA
Also known as PU-ERH & PU-ER
P'uerh is the original spelling but it has been anglicized several times during its westward explanding use. It is manufactured in the P'uerh tea district of southern Yunnan Province in China. It takes its name from the small city of Pu-er & is only a few hunderd miles from the Laos & Burma border.
This tea is well known throughout the medicine shops of China & is highly regarded for its
medicinal qualities as a digestive & nerve stimulant. The leaves have a marked bitterness. They are plucked, panned, sun-dried & steamed; after which they are either allowed to remain in leaf form or they are pressed into circular cakes of varying diameters. Cake tea is the most ancient form of manufacture of tea & it has come down through hundreds of years to the present time. A method of preparing this tea was described by Lu YU in the first book on tea, published in China about the year 780 A.D. In cake form it is interesting to note that the cake tea of Lu Yu was wrapped in bamboo for the sake of transportation & is still done that way to this date for the high quality P'uerhs.
P'uerh tea liquor has a flavour unlike any other tea in the world. It is somewhat earthy in flavor (not repulsive at all) & has a long lasting flavor profile within the mouth or palate area. Poor grades can become very harsh &, as mentioned above, bitter. Top grades are smooth, pleasant & sweet.
P'uerh is one of "The Tea Man's" favorite teas & certainly the world's most unique.
PU'ERH TEA
The recipe behind this ancient fermented tea is a closely guarded secret. It has been produced for centuries in the small trading town of Pu-er in Yunnan China. We now know that the black tea from this region is aged, often in dark caves, where it develops a rich, earthy flavor.

The leaves are then dried loose or compressed into tea bricks, tea cakes or Tuochas that look like bird nests. Some tea cakes have been aged in caves to develop their particularly earthy flavor.
