Pu'er Tea 普洱茶

Pu'er is a unique tea tradition from Yunnan province made exclusively from large-leaf tea cultivars (大叶种). Sheng (raw) pu'er is sun-dried and can be enjoyed young for its vibrant, complex character or aged for decades to develop deeper, smoother notes. Shou (ripe) pu'er undergoes accelerated pile fermentation (wodui) to create immediate earthy, smooth flavors. Both styles are often compressed into cakes, bricks, or other shapes. Pu'er stands apart from other teas due to its unique terroir, cultivar requirements, and aging tradition.
