This puerh tea has been picked from old tea trees in Jinggu Yunnan which is around 100 years old. Ripe puerh goes through an accelerated aging process called wet pilling. This process offers an alternative to having to wait ten to thirty years for the raw puerh to mature and achieve the aged flavor. Puerh is often considered the best tea after a heavy oily meal. Our Classic Earthy Ripe Puerh is made of high quality tea leaves, which gives you a mellow and smooth aftertaste.

Classic Earthy Ripe Puerh | 經典雲南熟普洱
This puerh tea has been picked from old tea trees in Jinggu Yunnan which is around 100 years old. Unlike raw puerh, ripe puerh goes through an accelerated aging process called wet pilling. Loose tea leaves are piled and sprayed with water then left to ferment in a hot and humid environment for months. This process offers an alternative to having to wait ten to thirty years for the raw puerh to mature and achieve the aged flavor. Our Classic Earthy Ripe Puerh is made of high quality tea leaves, which gives you a mellow and smooth aftertaste.
Puerh tea is effective in reducing body weight. It contains theabrownin which is responsible for cholesterol reducing effects and has strong anti-oxidative properties and fat lowering effects, which can reduce cholesterol and heart related risks [1,2,3,4]. The fat reducing effect was stronger for ripe puerh relative to raw puerh [5]. Pu’erh is often considered the best tea after a heavy oily meal, it has the potential of treating constipation as well [6].
