Considered the “Caviar of the tea world”, a tea of worldwide historic interest and value. Pu’Erh tea is a post-fermented dark tea named after its origin city of Pu‘er (普洱) in Yunnan (云南) province of China, the world’s oldest tea region.

This Pu-erh is a delightfully aged tea that boasts a rich flavour and an intricate drinking experience. It exhibits a smooth and earthy taste with mild overtones ranging from plum to dark chocolate. The tea imparts a lovely amber and a mesmerising deep lingering flavour.

It's a must-try for those who have long been fascinated and intrigued by mysterious Chinese teas. Its mellow body and smooth finish will also make a perfect transitional tea for cutting out milk or sugar.
