3 Year Special Edition Pu-Erh

Many things in life improve with age. Friendships grow stronger over time, cheese to wine or classic movies, older things can often feel more satisfying, both physically and spiritually. The same is with Pu-erh tea. 3 Year Special Edition Pu-Erh, manufactured from máochá, a type of mostly unoxidized green tea grown in China's Yunnan province, offers numerous health benefits and a round earthy flavor that gets better with age. The nourishment of age factors into Pu-erh right from the get-go. To make it, unlike traditional teas in which 2 young leaves and a bud are plucked from the bush, 3-4 leaves and a bud are plucked, yielding older, broader leaves more suitable to the fermentation process. Once fermented, the best Peers are aged like fine wine, or cheese. The result is an earthy, musty character that sets the tea apart from all its younger competitors.

According to practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, aged Pu-erh has the ability to induce weight-loss, fight cancer, protect the kidneys and ward off many other of the causes of early mortality. So, what are you waiting for? Brew a pot of Pu-erh today, and start living life to the fullest!
