Ingredients

100 % Red tea Pu Erh 1ST Grade

Origin of tea

The Pu Erh First Grade is dark brown, almost opaque. The aroma is distinctive with earthy undertones, smoky notes in the mouth and a slightly sweet aftertaste. It is a tea for seasoned enjoyers. Some people take longer to get used to its aroma, others fall in love with the first sip.

The Pu Erh red tea with its dark and delicate leaves is exceptional in every way. It is grown in the Chinese province of Yunnan, at altitudes between 1200-2000m. On the southwestern border of China, in Yunnan Province, tea has a history of more than a thousand years. The wild tea tree Camellia assamica, with its unusually large leaves, is thought to be its ancestor. In the cloud-shrouded mountains of Yunnan, the temperature ranges between 12-23 °C. The rains are heaviest from May to October, during the monsoon season. Chinese tea plants thrive in such conditions, which is why the traditional Pu Erh is harvested in three stages –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ mid-April (Chun Cha), between July and August (Xia Tian) and September and October (Qiu Cha). The processing of Pu Erh is shrouded in mystery and is one of China's national secrets. What is certain is that its unusual flavor and excellent properties are due to the special fermentation process and the length of its maturation. Pu Erh, by the way, is the only tea where older means better.
