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.
Pu’er tea has been produced in Yunnan province for more than 2000 years, but due to its unique origin, history and process of production, it hasn’t spread to other areas until much later; hence it is sometimes referred to as “national treasure tea”. The unique features of this tea are its ageing ability and health benefits. Pu’er is well known for its mellowness, bitterness and sweetness. Other teas can be aged for a few years if taken good care of; however, Pu’er 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.

Let customers speak for us
the quality really good,the package was great and tge shipping was fast
I absolutely love this spicy dandelion chai tea. It’s dense so that I think it’s easier to use. I often add it to my normal herbal teas for a bit of a zing. I love this product as it’s so versatile. Thanks again for getting it to me before Christmas. Much appreciated for the effort.
I could say that I like my tea deep and full bodied with a touch of Irish and that would be correct. This tea was for my hubby. Irish breakfast is a difficult tea to find and so glad tea journeys have it. It’s a rich strong full bodied tea. Perfect for a wake up cuppa for breakfast. Again thanks tea journeys for getting it to me before Christmas. Awesome effort.
My hubby loved his Teabo. It is unique and versatile. He loved that it was made of double glass. Thank you Tea Journeys for getting it to me in time for Christmas. Did not expect such quick service. Awesome.
Been using a well known tea company for decades but stopped getting any smokiness. Your Lapsang Souchong was a welcome return to all essential flavours we love. Great tea. Thanks.
Always loved English Breakfast Tea, and like supporting local or Australian businesses
I purchased ‘Bulk Loose Leaf Tea Tins’ for my 2 daughters & 2 daughter-in-laws as a shared Christmas present. After lots of laughter - and a few ‘steals’ - each one ended up with two delightful brews.
The Girls are very happy with their selections, and are now keen to try some of Tea Journeys’ other teas - so I have their birthday presents covered!
love it, like the way the tea leaves stay in the strainer and not fall though into the tea. easy no mess to clean.
A little cutie that holds quite a lot more than expected - very happy with it.
Just lovely beautiful flavour on its own or with a with a little coffee so many ways to have it so pleased with my purchase
