Puerh Teas
Puerh tea is prized in China for its health benefits, but is still gaining recognition in the west due to it�s strong flavor. Puerh is harvested from old, large leaf varieties in Yunnan province, where it then undergoes several unique processing steps, mainly, being heaped into large piles and being allowed to "compost". Constant turning of the leaves and careful monitoring of the moisture and temperature are essential to the finished product. Often, after firing, the finished puerhs are stored underground to allow them to age properly, sometimes up to 50 years!
