The unique character of Pu Erh teas results from storing these teas in cool cellars or in the ground for one or more years. The light to dark brown leaf develops a strong, spicy earthy taste and depending on the brewing, an earthy and woody flavour. The infusion has a rich dark red colour. The Pu Erh leaves are pressed into tiny individually wrapped discs each making a cup of Pu Erh tea. A very convenient way of enjoying the health benefits and unique taste qualities of this tea. Alleged health benefits: an aid to digestion, reducing cholesterol and weight loss. But it tastes great as well.
Pu Erh tea is widely sold as a weight loss tea and is regularly used as a main ingredient in commercially prepared weight loss tea mixtures. Although there is, as yet, no empirically backed evidence as to how Pu Erh tea might facilitate weight loss, there are widely proposed explanations. The belief is that the tea increases the drinkers metabolic rate and that the high tannin level reduces nutrient absorption.
Whatever your reasons for drinking Pu Erh it is one of the most interesting teas of China and drunk around the world for its distinctive taste as well as its health properties.
