Pu'er Tea

China is known to be the country of origin for tea. What the rest of the world calls black tea is actually known as red tea in China because of the colour of the liquid being more red than black. But China’s Yunnan province does have its unique black tea which we call pu’er tea. What makes this tea different from the rest is the fact that the pu’er tea leaves goes through a special fermentation process unlike other teas. It is usually sold either pressed into a shape where the fermentation process continues to take place and the tea leaves mature with time; or it may be sold as a loose leaves looking like furry tea.

Pu’er tea leaves are unique to the Yunnan province of China. Produced from the largest tea leaf type available in China, Pu’er tea doesn’t have a clear history or story of origin. It is known that the Chinese used darkened tea as a means of trade at the borders. This darkened tea known as hēichá and it is produced from an unoxidized type of green tea from the large-leaf variety of tea found in the Yunnan province. The unique fermentation is triggered by organisms which grow in the tea leaves and the usual oxidization process that tea leaves go through.
