Description

This exceptional Imperial Grade Pu Erh tea has now reached its prime drinking window, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy a tea that, like fine wine, only improves with age. Originating from the Yunnan province of China, Pu Erh has been produced for over a thousand years and was once a prized tribute tea, reserved for emperors and nobility.

What sets Pu Erh apart is its unique fermentation and ageing process. Unlike other teas, it develops deeper, more complex flavours over time. As a result, it’s not only enjoyed for its taste but increasingly seen as an investment, with aged Pu Erh commanding high value among collectors and tea connoisseurs.

This particular Imperial Grade Pu Erh boasts a uniform leaf structure with a generous presence of Golden Tips, an unmistakable sign of its superior quality. The dry leaf exudes a deep and earthy aroma. 

Once steeped, the liquor reveals a rich, deep red hue and offers a remarkably smooth, full-bodied cup. Expect an earthy, woody flavour profile that is both grounding and fragrant, with a lingering finish that is both satisfying and complex.

In traditional Chinese culture, Pu Erh has long been enjoyed alongside meals, not just for its flavour, but for its digestive benefits. Known to aid in the breakdown of fats, it is still commonly served with rich or heavy foods. Modern research now supports these traditional beliefs, with studies showing that regular consumption of Pu Erh may help to lower cholesterol, regulate weight, and support healthy blood pressure levels.
