Pu Li / Chinese Tea Drink 200g
The Smooth, Earthy Elixir of Yunnan Province
Discover the ancient tradition of Pu-erh Tea (Pu-li), a unique variety of fermented dark tea from China's Yunnan province. Unlike green or black teas, Pu-erh undergoes a natural microbial fermentation process (known as "ripening" for this dark style), which smooths out bitterness and creates a deep, incredibly rich flavor.
When brewed, Pu-erh yields a dark, reddish-brown liquor with a distinctive smooth, earthy, and slightly sweet profile. It is renowned for its low astringency and its ability to be re-steeped many times.
Why Pu-erh is a Must-Try:
-
Complex & Aged Flavor: Often compared to aged wine, the flavor improves with age, offering a smooth, grounding taste with zero bitterness.
-
Digestive Health: Traditionally consumed after heavy or oily meals to aid digestion and cleanse the palate.
-
Low Caffeine: Provides a gentle, sustained energy lift without the jitters of coffee.
-
Excellent Value: The high quality of the leaves allows them to be infused multiple times throughout the day, providing great value from the 200g pack.
Traditional Brewing Instructions (Gongfu Style):
-
Use 1 heaping teaspoon of leaves for every 200ml of water.
-
Use freshly boiled water (100°C).
-
Rinse: Pour hot water over the leaves and immediately discard the water (this "wakes up" the tea).
-
Steep: Brew the first infusion for 20-30 seconds. Increase steeping time by 10 seconds for subsequent infusions.
-
Enjoy up to 8–10 infusions from the same leaves.
