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.

You guys are brilliant, your packaging is 1 of the main reason I chose to order my Tiger with you, you don't waste room and space with boxes. I love my tea samples and really I cannot survive without my Morning Tiger, Thankyou Tea Journeys
I’ve never understood our camping buddies not liking Lapsang Souchong. After all they all say how much they like getting home and finding all there clothes smell of smoke.
Recently introduced Golden Goose into the mix and it captured some interest. There is hope for them yet.
I am really enjoying my sticky chai….. especially the ginger flavour which gives me the taste I like to identify.
I often use my diffuser in a mug rather than the infusion bottle and that works well if I just want a mug of chai just for myself.
I have samples to try and I want to try a chilled chai as well. I’m on a ‘tea adventure’
Love you guys. They have always looked after me with delightful professionalism and care. I am not going to lie I have been difficult at times and have always gone beyond.
Thanks again
It is a little more effort, but pulling apart these delightful little cakes and drinking the tea makes me very happy. The smell and taste tickles me very much and the more steeps you do the more it breaks apart and keeps giving flavour. I may or may not have tested how many I could get away with.
Exactly what I was looking for. Fits my cups, of various diameters, perfectly. I use it everyday. Might need to get some more.
As a self-proclaimed tea aficionado, finding that perfect brew can often feel like a never-ending quest. After much searching, I stumbled upon Golden Goose, and I can genuinely say this tea has rekindled cherished memories of my childhood.
From the very first sip, I was transported back to the cozy afternoons spent with my granny. It was all about those simple, joyous moments—sitting together, dunking malt biscuits, and feeling enveloped in warmth and safety. Golden Goose captures that essence beautifully.
The aroma is inviting, rich with malty undertones that hint at comfort. Each sip is a velvety embrace, perfectly balanced to deliver warmth and depth without being overly strong. The combination of flavors creates a smooth experience that lingers pleasantly on the palate, making it the ideal companion for those quiet moments of reflection or a catch-up with a loved one.
I've enjoyed this tea at various times of the day—morning, afternoon, and even as a soothing evening treat—and it never disappoints. It's just perfect. If you're a fussy tea drinker like me, I highly recommend you give Golden Goose a try. It’s more than just tea; it’s a delightful journey back to simpler, happier times.
In the world of teas, this one stands out as a true gem. Cheers to many more cozy cups!
This is a good product and the teas are good to drink. Even better was the service. I’d ordered two of the Hero Leaf bottles and tea (one as a gift) and one came without the strainer. I emailed the team (I get these things happen) and within a couple of days a strainer arrived with two sample bags of tea with a lovely apology. Because of that service I have ordered more items from Tea Journeys. I’m enjoying the tea.
Good sturdy product would purchase again without hesitation.
Best matcha I have ever tried, so convenient too!
The website is easy to navigate to purchase my favourite tea. Each order I’ve made has been delivered quickly so I don’t have to be without my tea
