Dark Pu'er Tea Blend
The mystique of pu'er goes back to the days of the Silk Road, when tea was carried in camel bags across the arid deserts of Asia and the Middle East. Such an adventure would naturally "season" the tea, slowly oxidizing as it lay dormant en route to its destination. Nowadays, the tea is deliberately fermented in piles after being sun-dried and is pampered in such a way to deliver a delicious infusion, even decades later.
This classic dark tea yields a reflective autumnal taste that is musky, smooth, and earthy. A phenomenal tea for digestive health and overall well-being.*

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, the tea is transformed into a dark, rich, smooth, and earthy brew. Raw pu’er tea cakes are a great option for tea collectors because they age beautifully.
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. While you can continue to age dark pu’er tea at home, you will not notice such a dramatic effect as with the raw pu’er. Dark pu’er makes a deep, dark, smooth, earthy brew, that’s unlike any other tea.
Whether raw or dark, pu’er tea is naturally digestive and has some incredible health benefits.
