Puerh is the Chinese Tea collectors choice. There are many kinds of Puerh and they are all different: raw, uncooked, baked, wet, unfermented, and more. These tea bricks are the best quality from Yunnan. The flavour is dark and earthy with a slightly sweet finish. There is just the right amount of musty goodness to envelope the taste buds leaving you want more. Puerh can be great, and this is surely one of them. Natural Shou (cooked) Puerh Tea Bricks can make multiple infusions and they come in the perfect size 50gr.

Darkening tea leaves to trade with ethnic groups at the borders has a long history in China. These crude teas were of various origins and were meant to be low cost. Darkened tea is still the major beverage for the ethnic groups in the southwestern borders and, until the early 1990s, was the third major tea category produced by China mainly for this market segment.

There had been no standardized processing for the darkening of puerh tea until the postwar years in the 1950s, where there was a sudden surge in demand in Hong Kong, because of the concentration of refugees from the mainland. In the 1970s, the improved process was taken back to Yunnan for further development, which has resulted in the various production styles today.

In recent decades, it has become more common for the crude tea to be sold as a finished product before it is darkened. This is called sheng cha, or "raw tea". The tea leaves are supposed to be darkened gradually through exposure to environmental elements during storage. The truly post-fermented type has thus been given a relative name, shu cha, or "ripened" tea. Whether sheng cha or shu cha, appropriate selections of puerh can mature to acquire improved taste.

Our Puerh tea bricks are aged naturally and natural Shou (cooked) Puerh Tea Bricks can make multiple infusions and they come in the perfect size 50gr.
