普洱茶
PU-ERH TEA (PU'ER)
Pu erh Tea (Pu'er or Pu-erh) 普洱茶 is the most exquisite art of tea drinking. It is a traditional Chinese specialty that is produced in the Yunnan province where the land grows wild tea trees that are hundred to thousands of years old.
The production of this variety involves steaming and pressing the leaves, then allowing time for full fermentation and oxidation of the tea, which can take up to several months.
Comparative to fine wine, Pu-erh teas have a collectible value which increases over time, as the flavours and textures of the tea evolve and become more complex.
