  Description

       Pu'er is a large leafed tea from the Yunnan province in China and has been famous as a medicinal tea. The earliest records of Puerh tea date back to the Tang Dynasty ( 618AD-906AD ) when it was the favorite tea of the nobleman of this time. Puerh tea over the centuries has been used as a form of currency in China and an important international trading item. Puerh tea was at one time very well known in northern Canada among the northern native people, who were trading across the Bering Strait.

      Pu'erh tea derives its name from the market town of Pu-er, where it was originally processed and sold, but it is grown on the Nuoshan Mountains. It is said that the unique taste of  Puerh Tea was developed because it took weeks to transport the tea leaves by horseback to the town to be processed. During this transportation period the tea leaves would begin to ferment in the humidity and release a strong, fragrant aroma, which people found quite pleasant. A special technique of tea fermenting developed and Pu’er was thus created.

        The secret of making Puerh tea has been closely guarded in China for centuries. The tea leaves are collected from growers of a special broad-leaf tea tree, which are said to be related to ancient prehistoric tea trees. The leaves go through two types of fermentation, which gives this tea its unique characteristics; a mild, but distinctively earthy flavour. Puerh teas are much like fine wines, which become smoother and more balanced with age. Puerh teas are much lower in tannins than other teas due to the special processing method which it undergoes.

Brewing Guide:	Place 4-5 grams of tea leaves into the Zhi Sha tea pot or Gai Wan, pour in boiling water and cover it for 3-5 seconds, Pour out the tea water into the tea cup(s) and drain away. The first steeping is not intended for drinking and is used for the purpose of washing the tea leaves and warms the tea cup. It’s also a means of decaffeinating. Caffeine is highly water soluble, so it is one of the first constituents of the leaf to be extracted in the steeping process. Usually most of the tea's caffeine content is released in the first steeping. You can enjoy any tea virtually caffeine-free (with little sacrifice of flavor) by discarding the water in the first steeping and adding fresh hot water to the now largely decaffeinated leaf. Every steeping increase 3-4 seconds, pu-erh tea minimum can steep for 5-7 times or more.
