Numi’s Emperor’s Pu-erh is picked from wild-harvested, organic tea trees that are 500 years old, deeply rooted in China’s majestic Yunnan Mountains. Hand-picked broad leaves are fermented into black tea then ripened, resulting in an earthy aroma and dark sienna hue. Pu-erh boasts a bold body, smooth and slightly sweet with hints of malt. This rich, energizing tea is deeply satisfying as a coffee alternative. Numi is proud to reveal the centuries old tradition of Pu-erh. Pu-erh is an ancient healing tea known for its medicinal properties and rich taste. Numi’s Organic Pu-erh comes from 500-year-old, wild, organic tea trees grown in China’s pristine Yunnan Mountains. The maturity of these trees yields a superior tasting tea compared to younger pruned bushes. Unlike traditional teas that are oxidized over an 8 hour period, Pu-erh undergoes a unique 60-day fermentation process resulting in a bold, earthy flavor with hints of malt and more antioxidants than green tea. Pu-erh can be compressed into bricks and aged, like fine wine, for months, years or even decades. This increases its value, health benefits and premium taste. Pu-erh’s ancient history began over 2,000 years ago when tea was transported by horse caravans along 5 main routes known as the “Tea Horse Roadsâ€. The most traveled road began in the village of Pu Erh. Merchants compressed the tea to maximize their load when traveling across China & found the tea tasted better at journey’s end and yielded additional health benefits. It is said that the Last Emperor’s mother cured her gout by drinking Pu-erh. Like fine wine that undergoes a fermentation process, Pu-erh’s processing acts on nutrients already existing in tea. Pu-erh tea is purported in Chinese culture to aid digestion & rejuvenate life energy.
