Loose leaf Shu Puer tea 2010
PLACE OF ORIGIN:
Simao, Puer, Yunnan, China.
PRODUZIONE:
Loose leaf Shu Puer tea 2010 picked in July 2010 by hand from ancient tea trees, riped by fermentation. Puer shu tea is a macrobiotically fermented tea obtained through the action of molds, bacteria and yeasts on the harvested leaves of the tea plant. It is thus truly a fermented tea, whereas teas known in the west as black teas (known in China as Red teas) have only undergone large scale-oxidation through naturally occurring tea plant enzymes. Mislabelling the oxidation process as fermentation and thus naming black teas, such as Assam, Darjeeling or Keemun, as fermented teas has created endless confusion. Only tea, such as aged Puer Shu, that has undergone microbial processing can correctly be called a fermented tea.
