Are you a tea lover? And have you tested the unique type pu-erh tea, which is considered as one of the most famous and popular dark tea in China. In my last trip to the Yunnan province where I really had a great time, we bought ourselves eight pu-erh teacakes. Elaine loves tea and by the way, if you prefer to look inside some of the popular tea in China, please go to Chinese tea and you can resort to Yunnan food to known some unique food in Chinese Yunnan province. I believe some of you might have visited the beautiful ancient towns.

Iced tea is quite popular in China. We have iced black tea and iced green tea and sometimes iced herb tea like chrysanthemum tea and jasmine tea.

What is pu-erh tea

Originated from Chinese Yunnan province, pu-erh tea is one member of Chinese post-fermented tea-dark tea. The buds and leaves for pu-erh tea are from Yunnan big leaf tea plants (Camellia sinensis) with longer production process. Pu-erh tea can be further divided into two types according to the difference in tea processing: raw tea (Sheng) and ripe (Shu). Pu-erh tea enjoys a high popularity in China and is one of the most cultured and elegant teas. It can be brewing directly or with other herbs and ingredients for example chrysanthemum, wolfberry and other nutritious ingredients. And we believe it may benefit our body from the following aspects.

  • Promote digestion, perfect greasy solution
  • Weight controlling
  • Anti-aging
  • Balance blood pressure and blood glucose
  • Anti-cancer
  • Protect blood vessels, prevent arteriosclerosis
  • Promote intestinal system health

      Traditionally Pu-erh is quite cheap in China. However since it is known for the long keep time, people think that older pu-erh tea wins a high price. So the price in China is also raising all the time.

      Hi Vicky,
      The Chinese name is 普洱茶, the English name is using the Chinese pronunciation. It is a super healthy tea quite popular in China recently.
