Aged for 6-7 years, this leaf this tea produces a smoky, earthy brew.

Many people are familiar with the compressed aged cakes of Pu-Erh, less so with leaf Pu-Erh.

From Yunnan, one of the great tea producing provinces of China, this Pu-Erh tea is made using one bud and 3-4 leaves.

The varietal used (which has a larger leaf) and the growing conditions of the Yunnan contribute to the complexity of the flavour of the tea. The leaves are handled very carefully at this stage to prevent damage and so avoid any oxidation commencing.

The leaves are then withered for a short period, causing the enzymes to start breaking down before being panfried to arrest break down. The leaves are then hand rolled and allowed to dry to complete the process. The tea is then matured either as loose leaf or packed into cakes of different shapes.

Note that compared to green and white teas, it is relatively high in caffeine.

Region & Growing Info

China

China is the world's largest producer of tea, offering diverse types including green, black, oolong, white, and Pu-erh. Famous regions include Zhejiang, home of our Dragon Well Lung Ching green tea, known for its fresh and nutty flavour. Yunnan produces rich Pu-erh with earthy, aged qualities. Fujian is famous for oolong teas like Tie Guan Yin, offering floral, creamy notes. Each region imparts distinct flavours from unique climates and terroirs.

China's tea culture is rich with tradition, emphasising handcrafting and meticulous processing methods. Green teas such as Lung Ching are pan-fried while Oolong teas are primarily hand-rolled. Pu-erh undergoes fermentation, creating a robust, earthy profile. China's commitment to organic and sustainable farming is growing, with many regions producing eco-friendly teas. The country’s vast landscape ensures a variety of flavours, from delicate, floral flavours to bold and distinguished flavours.
