Pu'er Tea
Pu'er tea is a type of fermented tea that originates from the Yunnan province in China. It is named after the city of Pu'er, which used to be a major trading centre for tea. Pu'er tea is known for its unique ageing process, which can span from several months to many years. The tea leaves undergo microbial fermentation and oxidation, resulting in a distinct flavour and aroma.
Puโer tea has been produced in Yunnan province for more than 2000 years, but due to its unique origin, history and process of production, it hasnโt spread to other areas until much later; hence it is sometimes referred to as โnational treasure teaโ. The unique features of this tea are its ageing ability and health benefits. Puโer is well known for its mellowness, bitterness and sweetness. Other teas can be aged for a few years if taken good care of; however, Puโer can be aged for decades with a remarkable effect on the caffeine content and polyphenol - antioxidant substances contained within it.
The Pu'er tea leaves are unique in the fact that you can enjoy over 10-20 'flushes' with the same leaves, enjoying more complex flavours and health benefits each time.
Explore the two captivating types of Pu'er tea:
-
Raw Pu'er: Delicately crafted through natural fermentation, Raw Pu'er preserves the raw essence of the tea leaves. This type of Pu'er tea develops complexity and depth over time, offering a captivating experience with every infusion.
-
Cooked/Ripe Pu'er: Undergoing a meticulous fermentation process, cooked or ripe Pu'er exhibits a rich, mellow flavour profile. This tea undergoes ageing to perfection, resulting in a smooth and velvety infusion that delights the palate.
Experience the allure of Pu'er tea as it takes you on a journey through time and terroir. Allow the ancient traditions and natural wonders of Pu'er to envelop your senses, and savour the remarkable depths of flavour that await in each cup.

from 149 reviewsSo easy to use and convenient for hot or cold beverages. I'm a chai addict so use mine for when I want a good chai when travelling ๐
Loved my Chai pack. The almonds were to die for and both the sticky chai and syrup are amazing. The syrup I have in warm milk at bedtime. So soothing. Will buy again for sure
These liquid Chais are great!! Just a centimetre of it in a glass and fill with ice cold or hot milk and itโs ready to go .. no cooking on the stove or boiling a jug! Iโm using it for iced chai with cold milk and ice itโs delicious
This is so easy for a delicious cold iced chai .. you literally pour some of the liquid into a glass maybe a centimetre then just top with icy cold milk and thatโs it!! Add some ice if you want to so good and so quick to make .. Iโm hooked
