Puerh tea is a class that has undergone a period of "aging" in open air, from several months to many years. The exposure of the Chinese Tea to microflora, humidity and oxygen in the air causes it to undergo oxidation through auto-oxidation,and fermentation possibly by some reactivated oxidative enzymes in the tea. This alters the smell of the tea and typically mellows its taste, turning previously astringent or bitter teas into products that are thick and unctous, with pleasant mouth-feels and aftertastes.

Puerh is also spelled, Pu-erh tea, and also spelled as Pu'er tea, is a variety of post-fermented tea produced in Yunnan province, China. This is a Chinese specialty and is sometimes referred to as dark, or black tea. There are a few different provinces, each with a few regions, producing dark teas of different varieties. Those produced in Yunnan are generally named Pu'er, referring to the name of Pu'er county which used to be a trading post for dark tea during imperial China.

Pu'er is available as loose leaf or in various compressed forms as tea bricks. There is also the differentiation of cooked (shou) and raw (sheng) types. The shou type refers to those varieties that have gone through an accelerated post-fermentation process, while the sheng types are those in the process of gradual darkening through exposure to the environmental elements. Certain selections from either type can be stored for maturity before consumption. That is why some are labelled with year and region of production. Some are meant for consumption.

Careful aging results in a most refined tea with apricot-like fragrance. Like our Puerh Tea, some things really do get better with age! 3.53oz (100 gr)
