TEA OF WISDOM flavour profile: a mature, earthy cup of tea with depth & a mild pungency ingredients: authentic Chinese pu-erh semi-green tea Authentic Pu-erh is made through a unique controlled fermentation and aging process, which takes several years. Normally, drinking fresh tea is best, because it has higher antioxidant levels. However, the specialized traditional technique Pu-erh undergoes is associated with many digestive and health benefits, and results in a rich, earthy, flavour. Unfortunately, due to sudden popularity in China a few years ago, low quality counterfeit Pu-erh flooded the tea market. When Pu-erh is made properly, using ancient techniques, it is linked to many healthful properties. However, counterfeit Pu-erh is made improperly and may contain harmful microbes and also lacks the healthful properties of authentic Pu-erh. True Pu-erh undergoes several years of controlled aging after fermentation, so we have to be patient during the aging process, and wait for it to mature. Authentic, organic Pu-erh continues to be very hard to source, so we do expect to run out again. If you love this tea, you may want to stock up while you can, particularly because Pu-erh ages well - it can be enjoyed for many years to come.
