Types of Pu’er Tea
There are two different ways Pu'er tea can be classified: dark (shu) and raw (sheng).
Raw Pu’er is naturally fermented and in its younger phase it is sweet and clean, reminiscent of a green or light oolong tea, but with more body and vigor. With time and careful aging, it transforms into a dark, rich, smooth, and earthy brew.
Dark Pu’er cakes are aged in a special chamber that speeds up the fermentation process, simulating the process that naturally occurs over time with raw pu’er. This lets you enjoy pu’er tea as if it were decades old. Dark pu’er makes a deep, dark, smooth, earthy brew, that’s unlike any other tea.
Our “Red” Liji pu’er is a unique variety of dark pu'er tea crafted in the style of black tea.

PU’ER TEA
Steeped in history, the origin of pu’er tea follows the story of a winding mountain path between China and Tibet. The long journey along the ancient Tea Horse Roads would naturally "season" the tea, slowly oxidizing it as it lay dormant en route to its destination.
Today, pu’er is cultivated and prepared according to ancient traditions and deliberately fermented after being sundried to create its smooth, earthy taste. Visit our blog to learn more about our prestigious Liji pu’er teas and the healing properties of pu’er tea.
