Pu-erh is the only fermented tea. Known as “aged teas” or black teas, Pu-erhs owe their renown to their processing which allows their flavors to enrich over time. Made in two general styles – raw or uncooked known as Sheng; and cooked or ripe, known as Shou or Heicha. Both styles, loose leaf and compressed, are enjoyed as cakes, bricks, and nuggets.
Shou Pu-erhs have an earthy flavor, with a bouquet of peat, roots, mushroom, and malt. Sheng Pu-erh has a wonderful and complex mouthfeel offering earthy aromas of raw beet, potato, and malt. We recommend rinsing the leaves briefly with boiling water before steeping to open the leaves. Ripe Pu-erh does not get astringent, just stronger. It is best to experiment with raw Pu-erh to find your favored taste profile.

Pu-erh bagged tea
I like loose tea but this is the best bagged puerh tea that I have tried. Convenient for travel and the office. I appreciate that the bags are made out of cornsilk so they are compostable, and because the bags are not individually wrapped, there is less waste.

Best pu-erh you can get in a teabag
Pu-erh is far and away my favorite style of tea, and whenever possible I prefer to make a pot of loose-leaf pu-erh. However, it's not always practical to do so (e.g., when I'm at the office or traveling). After trying every bagged pu-erh I could find, I've found this is far and away the best option for a no-muss, no-fuss, delicious cup of pu-erh.

Want to love it
I want to love this tea, it's very smooth for a black tea. The aroma though, I can't get over the fact that it smells like fish food. Even after rinsing the tea like the directions say, it still gives off a fish food smell. Tastes great despite this though!
