A very fine crop, with many buds for this very particular type of tea. Its powerful scent is reminiscent of damp soil and bark. Its name means "trouser bottom". A Chinese folk tale tells how the tea pickers keep the best leaves for themselves, hiding them in their pockets before taking them home with them.
Pu Erh tea is highly regarded in Chinese medicine for its curative properties. It lowers cholesterol levels, they say, it dissolves fats, helps digestion, improves blood circulation and lowers the effects of alcohol.
This tea improves with age, owing to the specific type of fermentation that affects the tannins.

This is my preferred tea type, not easy to get by in Europe. Taste is specific, probably not for everyone.

Velvety and full flavour, reminds me of the forest floor, and moss.

Strong black tea that actually does go really well after a meal. Great taste, not too sedating!
