Origins
If Pu Erh is at home anywhere, it's in South China's Yunnan province. It got its name from the town of Pu Erh, where all the teas from the surrounding area were collected to be processed and sold to buyers. The tea trees from which Pu Erh is made grow high in the hills. Of course, the specific climate has a major influence on the original characteristic of the tea. As does the process by which the tea leaves are processed. Very few people know it in detail. In fact, it is a secret that has been passed down from generation to generation by tea garden owners.
The tea leaves for Pu Erh are harvested from a large-leaved variety of Camellia sinensis called Ta-jie. After plucking, the leaves are allowed to wilt and then dried to remove the enzymes. This is followed by slow drying. This produces an intermediate product of Pu Erh, a tea named mao cha. This can be (and often is) used to make a beverage or is further processed. Its leaves are piled in large heaps and moistened with water. Covered with tarpaulins, they are left to ferment for several dozen hours. The bacteria and mold naturally present on the tea leaves speed up the tea's maturation and give it its original sensory characteristics. Once this process is complete, the tea can be pressed into a variety of shapes (nests, tables, cakes...) or dried and sold as loose tea.
It is good to know that Pu Erhs can also be aged. The oldest ones tend to be very delicious. Pu Erh lovers are also well aware of their ability to boost fitness. Pu Erhs contain minerals, B vitamins and other health benefits. Pu Erh is called "Chinese penicillin" for a good reason.
