China Puerh Chinese Tea

This highly specialised tea has, as one would expect, a wide spectrum of flavours from light tasting floral and fruity aromas to heavier tones of taste resembling earth, peat, rich and full bodied with a mellow smooth flavour. It falls into 2 categories – raw (green) and cooked (semi-oxidized). It can then be put into 2 types – pressed and loose. As it ages the tea changes colour from green to reddish brown. The pressed type is in the form of a ‘cake’ that came about when travellers wanted to take the tea with them on their journeys.Today the loose Puerh tea is just as popular at home in China as with the tea drinking nations of the world. Our China Puerh tea has a full bodied earthy flavour and red liquor that is characteristic of this premium tea.
