Pu-erh Tea

Also known as: puer tea, pu'er tea, aged pu-erh, aged pu'er tea

Tea (Camellia sinensis)Pu-erh

A post-fermented tea from Yunnan, China, in which finished leaf undergoes microbial fermentation and ageing rather than simple oxidation.

How pu-erh tea is prepared

Used where a dark, savoury tea backbone is wanted — its earthiness carries roasted and smoky partners without being erased by them.

Co-Fermentation

A single fermentation in which two or more raw materials are pitched and fermented together in the same vessel, rather than fermented apart and blended afterwards.
