PU-ERH TEA

Pu-erh is a variety of aged dark tea produced in Yunan province, China. Fermentation is tea production style in which the tea leaves undergo microbial fermentation and oxidation after they are dried and rolled. This process is a Chinese specialty and produces tea known as Hei Cha, commonly translated as dark, or black tea (this type of tea is different from what in the West is known as “Black Tea”, which in China is called “red tea” ). The best known variety of this category of tea is Pu-erh from Yunnan Province, named after the trading post for dark tea during imperial China.
