Pu-erh tea
What is pu-erh tea?
Pu-erh tea is a unique type of fermented tea that is traditionally made
in the Yunnan Province of China. It is made from the leaves of a tree
known as the “wild old tree,” which grows in the region.
Although there are other types of fermented tea like kombucha, pu-erh
tea is different because the leaves themselves are fermented rather than
the brewed tea. Pu-erh is usually sold in compressed “cakes” of tea
leaves but can be sold as loose tea also.
Many people drink pu-erh tea because it not only provides the health
benefits of tea but also those of fermented food.
